Welcome to Eden, the new Spanish hit on Netflix: a trippy, dated dystopia – but still good fun

Welcome to Eden is exactly the kind of show that should be going viral on Netflix (as, indeed, it is). It has the good-looking young (if not particularly diverse) cast. It has the increasingly popular foreign language element (at least for English speakers - it’s Spanish), combined with a healthy dose of weird dystopia that ought to make it a spiritual successor to Squid Game. It has the requisite elements of danger and mystery.

The only thing it’s lacking, unfortunately, is action.
