Netflix's The Eternaut is based on one of the greatest Argentinian graphic novels ever written, and it has a fittingly talented cast to adapt the story to television. The Eternaut, or El Eternauta in its original Spanish, is an adaptation of a graphic novel by the same name, written by Héctor Germán Oesterheld. With just six episodes, The Eternaut is a wonderfully bingeable sci-fi show, and one of the best new shows on Netflix. With world-renowned subject material, it's no wonder that Netflix's adaptation turned out well.
