Follow Juan Salvo along with a group of survivors as they battle an alien threat that is under the direction of an unseen force after a horrific snowfall claims the lives of millions of people.


Argentinian series The Eternaut feels closest to the quintessential template of a prestige post-apocalypse. It’s a character-focused slow-burn with striking visuals and very grim twists and turns, and like the shows above, it’s based on something else – not a video game or a book, but a graphic novel, writer Héctor G. Oesterheld and illustrator Francisco Solano Lopez’s 1957 one of the same name.

The core of the story, the final message?

What does “Eternaut” mean?

In short, “Eternaut” is an “eternal traveler”. For the Netflix series, it’s not the creature we see at the very end of season 1. Instead, it’s the main character of Juan Salvo (Ricardo Darin), who is the eternal traveler.

I wonder if an eternaut, is another way of expressing Transient Passenger...

This is a really fascinating series. It starts out so low key and unassuming. The characters are not at all whom you would expect to be featured facing the apocalypse. But then that's it exactly how it would play out. How would normal people react?

Very unique approach tot he story concept and excellent choice of cast and visuals.
