"It all starts when a group of old friends in Buenos Aires meet for a round of
the card game truco on a hot summer night. Suddenly – a power outage. As
darkness engulfs the city, a mysterious poisonous snow falls from the sky.
Thousands of people die from breathing the contaminated air. All the while, the
survivors must use everything at their disposal to fight an invisible enemy.
It hasn’t even been one month since Argentine sci-fi
The Eternaut, or
El
Eternauta, premiered on Netflix – yet it has gripped Argentine fans with a
full-fledged fever.
The series is based on Héctor Germán Oesterheld’s iconic 1950s comic of the
same name. With the slogan “no one survives alone”, the new Netflix series has
sparked important conversations, both online and offline, among the Argentine
media and public.
Most importantly, it has fuelled protests against austerity politics and
breathed new life into longstanding demands for social justice."
