Doug H The good: The episodes are pretty short and there are only four of them. The story is quite interesting, especially when it's centered around the volcano/earthquake/tsunami threats (yes, all three). The special effects are pretty good too. We were totally hooked for the first couple of episodes and eager to see how it played out. The bad: The acting is average at best. I assume they had to hire cheap actors to pay for the CGI effects. I honestly didn't care if any of them survived. The ugly: The last episode was ridiculous. Extraordinary coincidences, unbelievable decisions ("We've got 20 minutes to get to the airport or we'll all die. Let's pack!"), laughable plot twists. We were pulling for the tsunami.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Leandro G Tenía todo para hacer buena película. La escena donde va la lancha y se acerca el tsunami muy bueno . Esos 2 minutos los únicos buenos de todos los capítulos. Lo peor me pareció que venía una ola de 50 metros de alto y estaba en un avión en la tierra 🌎 que no había volado y le agarro la ola y sobrevivieron. Cualquiera ese final Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Joey D I stopped after the 2nd episode. despite the fact everyone is shown to have a very distinct character with struggles and every member of the family is seen having their own struggles especially- the autistic brother is just a emotionless stereotype, as an autistic person i hate the fact i can tell from a mile away they were just going to make him into a "problem child" and I was right- he's already being treated like a burden by the family and we get no thoughts from him as to how he feels about his family's problems. I was going to have hope that the character would be developed but I lost it all during the scene where the parents are openly fighting and his only reaction to walking in on his sister crying is "oh- I see I'm not supposed to say anything"- I had to drop the series because I just can't with this type of rep. If the show is good at the end, idc, i rather watch a show with no autistic rep at all then watch something that shows it didn't have one autistic person in the writing room. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review sachleen k Its the most illogical series one can imagine Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review Pedro D I actually liked the storyline and the general premise of La Palma, but I was really disappointed with the execution. The lead actress’s performance felt flat and unconvincing, which made it harder to stay invested. What bothered me the most, though, were the major plot holes. The biggest one: a massive tsunami hitting a plane, and yet somehow there are survivors? That’s simply unforgivable. On top of that, there are several smaller inconsistencies throughout the season. While they might seem minor individually, together they add up—especially because of how poorly the ending ties everything together. It’s not exactly a waste of time to watch, but the finale turns it into a huge disappointment and almost ruins the whole experience.
