Netflix’s disaster miniseries La Palma was released on 12 December 2024. The Norwegian production secured a spot on Netflix’s top 10 non-English series in just five weeks and was the most-watched between December 19 and 25 across all streaming platforms. However, it has received local criticism for its plot and the timing of its release, as La Palma is still recovering from the 2021 eruption on the island. It asks questions about filmmaking ethics, especially when real places and phenomena are involved.
