Pressed for time but craving a sci-fi thrill? There’s one Netflix gem you can binge in under six hours—and it’s already set for a second outing.
Why this six-hour sci-fi thriller is unmissable
If you’ve ever dreamed of epic battles against snowstorms tearing through summer skies, look no further than L’Éternaute. Based on Héctor Oesterheld’s classic Argentine comic, the series reimagines protagonist Juan Salvo and his friends as they fight for survival when lethal flakes descend from the heavens. I found myself glued to my screen during a weekend getaway—no holiday sun required—marvelling at how this compact saga packs high stakes and heart into every episode.
Industry experts agree: Netflix has struck gold by condensing pulse-pounding action into a bingeable less than six hours. With its inventive plot twists and richly drawn characters, it’s no wonder viewers around the globe are calling it the best sci-fi of the year.
What to expect in season two
Good news for fans: Netflix renewal came swiftly. Ricardo Darín, who brings Salvo to life, teased, “We still have the second part of L’Éternaute. I think we’re aiming even higher.” Season one’s jaw-dropping cliffhanger revealed a hidden power controlling extraterrestrials and human androids alike—and even Salvo’s daughter is caught in its grip. Drawing on hints from the original comic, we can anticipate deeper explorations of mind control, betrayal and that desperate fight to protect loved ones.
Whether you’re seeking a weekend binge or a quick sci-fi fix, L’Éternaute delivers—with season two already on the horizon, your adventure is far from over.
