Just finished watching Season 1 of “The Eternaut.” The drama, acting, direction, art design (especially the depiction of snow and the wall of cars), and VFX were all outstanding. The central themes are “an invisible enemy” and “a vast, lurking force behind it all”—very much in line with the great sci-fi classics of the 20th century born out of Cold War-era anxieties. Think “The Body Snatchers” by Jack Finney.
I haven’t read the original, but I hear the comic “El Eternauta” was created in the 1950s. It’s easy to imagine how the political unrest of the time shaped this story. This is truly a powerhouse work of science fiction from Argentina.
For today’s audience, perhaps weary of the usual zombie/plague-driven apocalypses, this offers a refreshing and compelling alternative. The pacing is slow and deliberate, so I recommend watching it without rushing, and definitely without spoilers. Can’t wait for Season 2.
