Netflix viewers can't get their head around brand new disaster series that's really easy to binge

The four-part series is already popular among viewers

Netflix has added a new disaster drama to its roster and it seems to be a massive hit with viewers.

Christmas is just around the corner, which means a lot of us will likely be spending a lot more time infront of the TV as we enter food comas after our roast dinners and copious amounts of alcohol.

However, Netflix is aware that not everyone in the family will enjoy sitting down to watch the same few Christmas flicks on repeat and have added an epic new disaster series ready for you to binge.

Check out the trailer here:

La Palma is a fictional, four-part Norwegian disaster series which follows the story of a family heading over to the Canary Island for some Christmas sun.

However, mother nature has other plans for the family.

According to the synopsis, a young scientist discovers alarming volcanic activity coming from the island's Cumbre Vieja volcano, threatening not only La Palma but the entire surrounding eco-system.

"If the volcano erupts, a mountain mass the size of Manhattan might erupt into the sea and cause the largest tsunami the world has ever seen," the synopsis continues.

"Will the family manage to escape the disaster of ash, gas and lava in a fight for their lives?"

Anders Baasmo Christiansen, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal (Westworld), Alma Günther, Bernard Storm Lager, Thea Sofie Loch Næss, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (The Meg) and Jorge de Juan star in the series.

Releasing a hypothetical disaster series during the high point of the festive season may seem a little strange but it would seem that most of us have an appetite for a helping of existential drama alongside our Christmas turkey. After all, 2021's apocalypse film Don't Look Up shot straight to the top of viewing charts after receiving a December release.

La Palma is currently proving to be particularly binge-worthy among viewers, currently sitting in second place on today's 'Most Watched' list, proving that fictional takes on mother nature's destructive capability is always a home run.

The series has also received plenty of reactions across social media, with one person calling it an 'unexpected excellent watch on Netflix' and '10/10 stars'.

However not everybody was convinced by the show, with other viewers left struggling to get their heads around some of the plot points.

"Watched La Palma on Netflix and pure s**t what do you mean she survived a tsunami inside an airplane," read one scathing review, while a second person added that some of the episodes felt like 'rage bait'.

La Palma is currently available to stream on Netflix.
