Forgotten Netflix Sci-Fi Drama With Best Possible Rotten Tomatoes Score Deserves Your Attention

With the amount of new series being released on major streaming platforms almost every day, sometimes we just unintentionally miss some of the definitely worthy series. And as they pass by not even being caught, it seems like there’s no coming back for them.

However, when they are noticed even by a small audience, there’s a chance the show will end up as a high rated, although not so popular one. This is actually a common story when it comes to foreign series as well.

For example, one of such shows is Katla. The sci-fi mystery-drama was created by Icelandic directors Baltasar Kormákur and Sigurjón Kjartansson and premiered on Netflix in June 2021.

What is Katla About?

The series revolves around the people of a small town called Vik. A year ago, a catastrophic eruption of the subglacial Katla volcano near the town turned the lives of Vik's citizens into a disaster. The eruption gave life to mysterious occurrences in the community that emerged from the ice.

The peaceful life is now something the people left in the unknown situation can only dream of. Especially when they meet a young woman who disappeared many years ago, but returned after the disaster looking exactly the same.

Viewers mention that the show gives off a kind of enigmatic vibe that you just can't stop thinking about.

“Very atmospheric, eerie, but in a subtle way. You just know that something is really not right, echoed perfectly by the black beaches and the Icelandic landscape. It keeps your attention even when you have already turned the screen off,” Redditor Judycash said.

There is only 1 season of the series, but it already has a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. So if you're a fan of slow-paced sci-fi thrillers, it's time to stream Katla on Netflix.
