As many people here, I loved this series and watched both seasons in just two days during Xmas 2024. I see a new season is coming and am delighted, I cannot get enough of lovely Joanne and her big smile. My only complaint is that there seems to be a rather huge mismatch between the English subtitles and the original version; my Norwegian is not too good, but is enough to realize the English version often is very different to what they're saying in NW, or even in Danish in S1, a language I understand well. It's difficult to understand why translators would take such liberties with the script, missing a lot of the wit and charm of the dialogue.

I'm writing a review just because I find the rating this film has right now on IMDb is really unfair.

This is a highly original and crazy family movie which kept me entertained from beginning to end.

It isn't Mexican as one reviewer wrote, but Spanish. The mother of the family is Mexican and several other characters have Latin American or Brazilian accents, plus one has a British accent. The rest speak in Spanish from Spain.

If you want to spend a couple of hours enjoying very original sci fi content for a family audience, please give it a chance. If you're Spanish you will certainly enjoy the great cast.

If you're not looking for cheap thrills and gore, but for low key, understated terror, this is a very good film, with a fantastic couple of leads. LaPaglia is terrifying in his everyday life dull character of the boring accountant and obsessive husband. Allen is also magnificent in her calm, subdued development as a character. I think the low scores are from people expecting a roller coaster unrealistic scary movie with lots of blood and screams. Nothing like this here, rather the little music of human perversity sounding like a distant radio. I love the ending, the power of resilience of so many women.
