The post-apocalyptic ​series captivated audiences worldwide, a​ttracting an impressive 10.8 million views.​ The six-episode series, starring renowned actor Ricardo Darín​ ( The Secret in Their Eyes, Argentina, 1985 ) as Juan Salvo, depicts ​t​he devastation in Buenos Aires, following a deadly toxic snow ​that kills most of the city’s population and ​ultimately leads to the revelation of an alien inv​asion. The gripping story a​m​assed 58.3 million viewing hours in ​the first week since ​its premiere on April 30. Ahead of the series debut, Darín and director Bruno Stagnaro discussed the challenges of bringing the iconic 1957 graphic novel by Héctor G. Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López to the screen.
