New Netflix no.1s are like busses: you don’t have to wait too long for a bunch to come along in quick succession. And after thetrailblazingBlack Doveswent rapidly to helmthe best streaming service’s chart in early December, now there’s another new show in the top-viewed slot.
La Palmais a fictional natural disaster series and it’s a rare no.1 because it’s in the Norwegian language, available with subtitles. It’s not often foreign-language shows top Netflix’s chart – but there have been major successes, of course, such as thelandmark first-season ofSquid Game(andseries 2 is just around the corner).

What I find really interesting aboutLa Palma, however, isn’t the show itself quite so much as the commonality it has with Netflix’s first-ever originals show. It took me back to a2022 blog post from Netflix CEO, Ted Sarandos, celebarting the 10th year anniversary of its landmark first series.
Do you remember it?Lilyhammer, which first aired in 2012, is a Norwegian crime drama-comedy, starring Steven Van Zandt (yes, the very same from Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band), spanned three seasons – and was largely a success. There are no plot crossovers betweenLilyhammerandLa Palma, just to be clear – these are very different shows indeed!

However,La Palmamight have attracted decent viewer figures – but it’s really failed to ignite much praise for the show. ItsRotten Tomatoes score doesn’t bare a critics score, while viewers' averages give it a mere 31%. That’ll certainly bring into question any liklihood of a second season, not that many reviewers are calling for one – calling out “bad acting” and “cheesy” scenes on the aggregator site.
