Netflix’s relationship with cults is practically a love story. Documentaries like Wild Wild Country have generated great phenomena among the public, so it is not strange that the audience increasingly demands more of this content from the platform. However, what has just arrived on Netflix is not a documentary, but a series about a cult so sinister that it sends shivers down your spine.
Anthracite is a miniseries with only one season —with six episodes of approximately 45 minutes each— that is already available on Netflix. In it, we embark on a terrible story that explores the limits of cults and how they can affect those who enter them.
A thriller that keeps you glued to the screen
Antracita takes us to a small alpine village. There, in 1994, the media echoed the collective suicide of a sect rooted in the place. Thirty years later, after the mysterious disappearance of a journalist, his daughter Ida embarks on a journey to that remote place, where the shadow of the sect, secrecy, and fatality still endure.
There, Ida crosses paths with Jaro, a young delinquent seeking redemption in the mountains and who becomes involved in murder accusations. Determined to prove his innocence, he finds an unexpected ally in Ida. They soon discover that their involvement in this dark matter is not a coincidence, and that the answers they long to uncover lie hidden in the depths of their own past.
