Our take
Grief can make you see things you don’t normally see. For most people, it means seeing your life in a new way, but for Alex in The Last Night at Tremore Beach, it means seeing terrifying visions of a future that he must figure out how to stop. It’s an interesting idea, especially as it contemplates the way we also grieve over lives not lived, but the Spanish adaptation of the Ireland-set book takes a long time to get there, taking such a slow pace that can try plenty of viewers. Still, with a bit of patience, the show eventually unfolds to a twisty mystery thriller with excellent shots and impeccable sound design. While less scary than expected, The Last Night at Tremore Beach nonetheless is worth watching, especially for fans of the supernatural mystery.
The story
When a tormented pianist is struck by lightning, he begins having perilous visions of his future and a deadly threat seems to loom over his loved ones.
In the wake of his divorce, film composer Álex de la Fuente retreats to an isolated beach house to find inspiration. However, when a storm hits, he starts to see eerie visions about the coastal town he’s visiting.
It’s fitting that the sound design of the series is great, considering the composer protagonist.
Proof that if you’re sad, don’t go on vacation– go to therapy.
