Reviewing forSensaCine [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 ofHobby 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 ofMilenio considered the series as "all the greatness of El Internado, the original, but with today's editorial and technical possibilities".^[18]
