I confess that the first episode of this series didn't win me over. I was ready to give up, but I decided to give it another chance and I'm glad I did. Lost in the Woods was a nice surprise.

It's a slowburn series without much emotion or drama but it has solid performances, beautiful landscapes, a natural and interesting construction and beautiful photography.

I love the characters and especially Fifa's storyline and all the character development.

But the ending really displeases me. It lacks emotion, it lacks closure. Even if there is eventually a second season, many storylines are left open here and the story simply ends out of nowhere.

Fifa and Hem's relationship is in this ambiguous field, there's not even a kiss. Fifa's dream of going to Japan is somewhat shallow and the story never delves into the whys or creates connections with this desire of his and his reality.

It's a very interesting and contemplative series, but it lacks action. Perhaps if they had shortened the scenes of the characters standing in beautiful natural landscapes and used that time to develop the narrative better, the ending could have been more interesting.

Regardless, it's worth watching.
