What do you think of it in the end? I'm thinking of starting that show
It is interesting. Only 3 episodes in right now. I think his style has worked better with film thus far. But definitely interesting concept, and has some of that fascinating magical realism/hallucinatory aspect that makes his films so good. I’ll let you know what I think when I finish.

Watched the first episode, it's pretty good thus far. The only thing that worries me is that some people say there's a twist by the 5th or 6th episode that shapes the rest and most people don't like it

Had not heard that. I read some criticism of its slow pacing for the first few episodes, but that’s just a modern nonsense complaint where everything must be a thriller for some reason. Ciro Guerra’s style is definitely the slow-burning quasi-supernatural mystery. I love the style, myself.

The good vs evil, environmental aspect of it could come across as a little preachy I suppose. But not far enough in to make that judgment yet.
