It is not a great week for the quiet bath by the beach: Monday, I wrote on the four Jaws films to come on a streaming device near you, and now the new critical success of Netflix The survivors will make you wipe out what could wash.
The six -part series has become one of the best Netflix shows with its 100% rotten critical score. It is based on Jane Harper’s book and takes us to Evelyn Bay in Tasmania, where the body of a young woman from outside the city washes on the beach. What starts as a tragedy becomes an increasingly dark and complex drama on sorrow, guilt and resentment.
There are not many laughs, as you have probably guessed, but according to the Guardian, it is worth looking behind your fingers: “The survivors is a study on the way in which raw sorrow and resentment by parity deforms – and how the survival of a tragedy rarely means unscathed.

What do the criticisms of the survivors say?
Digital mafia talks compared its power to that of Adolescence,, The drama focusing on misogyny that leads to a murder for adolescents. “”The survivors Covers a very wide range of subjects, ranging from poor parenting to fragile masculinity. He plunges into the concept of “nature and culture” and tries to answer if we become what our parents want us to be or if it all depends on the genes that we inherit and exceed … The results of these analyzes are defective but sufficiently pointed to start some important conversations. “”
Screenhub Australia gave the program four in five stars, in part because the opening episode seems to go in a different direction from the place where the series ends and partly because the critic has found none of the characters from a distance. The program “does a solid job to set up an intriguing premise. There are many suspects, and some obvious red herrings which will undoubtedly end up having a skeleton or two in the cupboard. Caught like a pure whodunnit, it checks all the boxes”. Just not the friendliest.
The New York Times (Paywall) was not immediately seized, but was very involved as the episodes progressed. “Although it covers a lot of familiar angles, the survivors surpass most of his brothers. The relationships here are Knotty, the multidimensional characters in an intriguing and moving way. People can be both wonderful and cruel, loving but perhaps not loving, faithful but also dishonest … The show presents as and its lines of intrigue, and its lines of intrigue, Real diagram of the head and the package. “
The survivors is now streaming on Netflix.
