The Boarding School: Las Cumbres (Spanish: El Internado: Las Cumbres) is a Spanish mystery and teen drama-thriller television series, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 19 February 2021.[1] Produced by Atresmedia Studios and Globomedia (The Mediapro Studio), it is a reboot of the popular series El Internado, which originally aired from 2007 to 2010.

Premise

[edit]

The fiction takes place in a boarding school for troubled teenagers located in an ancient monastery isolated from the world in which the students endure strict discipline. Four students, Manuel Villar, Amaia Torres, Paul Uribe, and his sister Adele Uribe plot to run away from Las Cumbres, a boarding school for "problem children". Adele backs out at the last minute and Paul cannot bring himself to leave his sister behind, so Amaia and Manuel run off into the woods. Manuel stumbles and is knocked out. Amaia watches in disbelief as a dark figure resembling a plague doctor picks him up and carries him away. When she is caught shortly afterwards by Mara the headmistress and Mario the gym teacher, they dismiss her claims as fantasy. Amaia and Paul, and later their friends, take it upon themselves to find out what happened to Manuel Villar. Their efforts lead to an ancient secret society, La Logia del Nido del Cuervo—the "Raven's Nest" (or "Crow's Nest") Lodge— and to other mysteries at Las Cumbres.[2][3]

Reviewing for SensaCine [es] before the series' general release, Alicia P. Ferreirós highlighted among the things working well in the first season aspects such as the presentation in the pilot episode, the mythology building, the scare factor and the season finale, while she negatively assessed the late and irregular development of some plots other than the central one as well as the appearance of some expendable secondary characters.[17] Likewise, Mariló Delgado of Hobby Consolas praised the mystery, the well-timed scares and the good performances by the cast members, while mentioning secondary plots having trouble getting started and apparently going nowhere as downside, giving it 84 out of 100.[15] Álvaro Cueva of Milenio considered the series as "all the greatness of El Internado, the original, but with today's editorial and technical possibilities".[18]
