Although, it's not THAT clever, at least not in terms of one being able to follow the plot. It is good enough acting, well written story with some twists - but not overcomplicated, very suspenseful on the whole, and a fascinating, beautiful setting on an "paradise" Mediterranean* island.
Trust me, it is WAY better than the ratings suggest. Reasons for the surprisingly low avarage score (currently 5.5) might be:
a) the abrupt finale of season one, leaving a cliffhanger of the decade (relax, folks! There WILL be a second season)
b) the show is in Spanish which most Americans tend to have a problem with (get over it! Switch to dubbing or, better, turn on the subtitles)
c) some slow parts mid-season one which obviously made a bunch of viewers leave (but why rate if you do not watch the whole thing?)
"Welcome to Eden" is for everyone that has ever dreamt of escaping their ordinary life to a place where dreams come true. Or, maybe not come true... It is for everyone who can appreciate the variation of settings, language and intrigue developments.
Most of all - it is for anyone who enjoys a good show with some, but not too much, psychological depth.
