While the Bridgerton-mania monopolizes the discussion on social networks, word of mouth confirms its primordial effectiveness even at the time of digital platforms. Not even ten days after its release, in fact, a Spanish series is climbing the ranking of the most viewed titles on Netflix in Italy and in other countries around the world with surprising speed: it is called The chaos after you, was conceived by Carlos Montero, already behind the success of Elite, and tells a story of teachers and schoolchildren with unexpected thriller implications.
The protagonist is Raquel (Imma Cuesta), a substitute teacher who decides to move to the small Galician village of Celanova to somehow recover her marriage with Germán (Tamar Novas), now arrived at the terminus. What Raquel does not know, however, is that the Italian teacher who occupied the chair before her, Viruca (Barbara Lennie), was found dead several weeks earlier from an alleged suicide.
The inhabitants of the town, however, are not convinced: Viruca was a strong, energetic woman, and it is very unlikely that she thought of taking her own life, especially when her husband Mauro spreads the rumor that the person responsible for her death could be one of his students. Through a wise superimposition of temporal planes we discover, in fact, that Viruca had a clandestine relationship with one of his pupils, Iaco (Arón Piper, ie Ander of Elite), a problematic boy who will cause many worries to the newcomer, terrified by threats that warn her of imminent danger. A note saying that she will be next to die, in fact, throws her into the deepest anxiety, prompting her to put the pieces together on Viruca’s death and to understand something more about her students, the class of the Novariz institute presents as a black platoon plotting against her.
The narrative is surprisingly pressing, supported by a good psychological introspection and a game of joints that leads the viewer to ask himself from time to time who is the real culprit. To this is added the erotic component, which first sees Viruca and then Raquel fall into the web woven by Iaco, the handsome dark man on which the eyes of his best friend Roi (Roque Ruiz), a boy who struggles to admit her homosexuality and who immediately presents himself as an ambivalent character, rich in chiaroscuro. In no time at all, The chaos after you drags us into the microcosm of the province alternating the two narrative strands, the more teen and the more adult, in a balanced way. Definitely more mature than Elite both as a writing and as a narrative system, the series, taken from the homonymous book by Montero himself, has all the credentials to involve the public in a thriller full of twists, where the truth is anything but obvious.
