A new Netflix miniseries called La Palma has left social media users furious over what one person called ‘another mediocre offering.’
Several X and Instagram users have not stopped writing about La Palma ever since it dropped on December 12.
Centered around an actual Spanish island off the coast of Africa , the Norwegian miniseries focuses on the chaos ignited by signs of volcanic eruptions that could trigger a tsunami.
Despite the show being at the top of Netflix shows’ most-watched list, it left several viewers with mixed reviews – either leaving watchers terrified, anxious or bored.
‘So basically La Palma on Netflix has completely destroyed the tourist industry because I know for d**n sure I certainly will never go there #lapalmanetflix,’ an X user wrote.
At least two X users were intrigued by the show’s natural disaster premise, and were interested in the subject matter rather than watching the actual show.
‘”La palma” on Netflix got me reading about climate change, volcanic eruption and the Canary Islands,’ an X user tweeted.
Although a few critics have praised the show for its visuals and plotline, it has not stopped social media users from criticizing La Palma’s characters.

Others had issues with the emotional toll the show based on its plotline.
One person wrote: ‘Ignore La Palma on Netflix unless you want to cry like a baby and get all emotional and s**t.’
‘This Netflix show La Palma is giving me so much anxiety,’ another tweet read.
Several X users admitted to not enjoying any part of La Palma, and some tweeters even revealed they regretted watching it.
‘The Netflix series La Palma about a volcanic eruption and tsunami is perhaps the worst series I’ve ever seen. And I see some very bad things, eh,’ an X user wrote.
Although some social media users didn’t mind the show, and one person insisted watching the show was the ‘best four hours’ of their life.
‘”La Palma” on Netflix is really worth a watch. Nothing groundbreaking but well done,’ an X user wrote.

Multiple X users advised Netflix fans not to watch the show and more than one person admitted they regretted seeing it







Despite a major room upgrade, the rocky side of the relationship between parents Fredrik (Anders Baasmo) and Jennifer (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal) comes out.
By the time Fredrik and Jennifer ended their arguments on a low note, geological researchers Marie (Thea Sofie Loch Næss) and Haukur (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) discover the devastation that could occur from inevitable volcanic disruptions.
A series of earthquakes begin to rock the area, and an aircraft that Fredrik and Jennifer’s daughter was supposed to be on disappears into a volcanic cloud.
The four loved ones miraculously survive but the emotional issues within the family and the natural disasters caused all four of them to separate.


The volcanic disruptions begin a series of catastrophes, and needless to say, not everyone survives
Television critics who watched La Palma by and large praised the show.
Chris Joyce, a critic from the Movies and Munchies YouTube channel did not enjoy the character development but praised the ‘stunning visuals.’
‘The juxtaposition between the happy holiday vibes of the family with the looming danger that none of them can fathom is an interesting thing to watch,’ television expert Archi Sengupta wrote for Leisure Byte.
‘It adds drama and tension to the narrative and gives us different perspectives to watch that make viewers get the full scope of the disaster.’
The critic added that La Palma was ‘enjoyable and binge-watch-worthy’ making fans watch a ‘terrifying reality.’
Another critic explained La Palma’s episodes feature stuff viewers have seen before but are not ‘layered with melodrama.’
‘La Palma is fairly typical disaster fare, but a relatively small main cast and a lack of melodrama make the show worth a watch, especially because the season is only 4 episodes and just over 3 hours of runtime,’ critic Joel Keller wrote for Decider.
