42 Days of Darkness is a Netflix Series. It is the very first Chilean Netflix original series production from Chile. Chile started with an extreme genre of crime series based on a true story. The script was inspired by the book “You know who: Notes on the Homicide Of Viviana Haeger” by journalist Rodrigo Fluxam in 2019.
There are changes in name and some details, but the main element is the same as its true story.

Review
As we all know, crime thrillers are always mind-blogging, whether a series or a movie.
Even though it is fictional work inspired by a true story, the accuracy of the same is brilliant. Movies and series always depend on the writer’s writing skills and the director’s directing skills. If these two matches, then movies and series will be superhit.
The casts of the movies did very well work. Whether the grieving sister or the confused children, everyone performed their character very well.
Also, the series’s location and kinds of music played a vital role in the series.
