The Eternaut

What is an Eternaut you ask? If seems to be the translation of the Spanish original title El Eternauta. When I looked it up, I got "The Eternalist", which suggests Eternity. It's a science fiction series from Argentina and it just dropped on Netflix this week.
I'm two episodes into it; there are four more to go in the first season.
IMDB rates it 7.7. The reviews there say it is based on an Argentinian equivalent to a graphic novel from the 1950s that is apparently much beloved among the Argentinians. There are many reviews that give it 9 or 10.
It is a hot summer day in Argentina when the story begins. A strange light in the sky startles three young women in a boat just offshore. Then, back on land, it begins to snow despite being hot out. The snow is toxic: anyone who has snow land on them is dead in just a minute or so. The main characters are playing cards at one of their houses when the snow falls. All the power goes out as does cell service and all electronics and even the gas for the stoves. One friend ventures outside and drops dead before they understand how dangerous the snow is. All over the city, anyone who was outside when it started snowing is dead. The friends debate what to do and one of them finally improvises a hazmat suit with a mask and goes outside to check on his daughter, who is supposed to be a couple of miles away. He sees several people (and pets) dead in the snow as he walks along.
According to IMDB, the story leads eventually to aliens but I haven't seen any yet. I don't expect you'll recognize any of the actors unless you're deeply familiar with Argentinian TV or cinema but you might like the story anyway. I'm curious to know more about these aliens and what they're trying to do.
One of the comments at IMDB says that the dubbed version of this show is NOT very good so that you are better off with the subtitled version. That's what I'm watching and it seems pretty satisfactory.
