Review of The Barrier

The Barrier (2020)
5/10
Dystopian soap opera
9 May 2021
Interesting premise ruined by terrible plotting and soap opera logic. Every character is coincidentally related to each other in ways that strains credulity to the breaking point. This wouldn't be a problem in a story with a small setting but this show is set in an expansive world of a Spain that's reverted to fascism. That is very meaningful to a Spanish audience but for outsiders it's not enough. Every time I get back into the show, because a lot of it is very well done, it does something so ridiculous that I walk away from it again.
