Netflix has recently premiered a thrilling new series that has quickly captivated audiences, prompting them to shout at their screens. This Norwegian import, titled La Palma, has climbed to the third spot in the UK’s Netflix rankings shortly after its release.
As of December 17, La Palma has soared into Netflix’s top 10, securing the No. 1 position.
Viewers have praised the series for its stunning visuals and gripping storytelling. One fan described it as “SO binge-worthy,” while another highlighted the compelling characters and nonstop suspense.
A third viewer was pleasantly surprised by the series: “The show was a positive surprise for me. I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did. Well written and directed, and a nice overall message on climate change. Some scenes were too slow and redundant, but overall, I definitely recommend it, if you enjoy the genre.”
“La Palma is enjoyable and binge-watch-worthy, making us watch a terrifying reality in an engaging way,” LeisureByte’s Archi Sengupta said.
The show has been earning great reviews and is super “binge-worthy” if netizens are to be believed.
The show premiered on the platform on December 12 and has quickly risen in the rankings, surpassing one of my favorite thrillers of the year, Black Doves.

However, the show has also received some criticism, particularly regarding certain plot points and the finale, leading some viewers to express their frustration by yelling at their TVs.
La Palma is not based on a true story. However, it is set in a real location—La Palma, one of the Canary Islands in Spain, located off the west coast of Africa. This island features the Cumbre Vieja, which is recognized as the most active volcanic ridge in the Canary Islands.
The four-episode limited series follows a young scientist and a geological team as they confront a potentially catastrophic volcanic eruption on the island of La Palma, part of Spain’s Canary Islands.
