Despite all odds, the Netflix series “La Palma” has shot up to the streaming service’s most-watched list.

The four-part show, which some viewers described as “terrifying”, hit our screens last week – and has already got lots of people talking about it on social media.

La Palma tells the story of a Norwegian family who travels to the Spanish island.

Things don’t start off so well when several tourists die in a boating accident just days before Fredrik, Jennifer and their children Sara and Tobias arrive.

Then things get even worse when researchers Marie and Haukur discover signs of a possible volcanic eruption – which could have devastating consequences for everyone on the island.

The brand new series has become a huge hit on Netflix.

According to Uni Lad, La Palma was streamed for over 40 million hours on the streaming service.

Still, it has actually left viewers divided, with many sharing their criticism on social media.

Some of them weren’t a fan of what they saw and didn’t hold back with their complaints.
