A few days back somebody mentioned on Facebook that they’d watched La Palma. And I said, “Wait a minute, is this La Palma, the Norwegian movie I did script translation on?” (Actually, I had the idea it was a miniseries. Maybe it was, when I worked on it.) A little research revealed that it had indeed debuted on Netflix this month.

I don’t subscribe to Netflix at this point, so I can’t review it for you. In fact, I probably shouldn’t review it at all, under the terms of my non-disclosure agreement.

You have to understand, I’m completely out of the loop anymore. I agreed in the NDA not to tell anyone I’d worked on any particular project until it was released. But nobody announces the releases to me. I get no memos.

The script as it exists now may very well have been altered considerably since the last time I saw it. The script I saw was based on an (unproven) theory that human activity activates geological instability, causing earthquakes. And earthquakes cause tsunamis. And that’s the cue for a disaster movie.

I might also mention that the story involves a lesbian couple.

Beyond that, you’ll have to make your own judgments.
