Dour subject matter hides a strong mystery in The Snow Girl Season 1 Review, which was initially featured on Ready Steady Cut.
There are no spoilers in this analysis of The Snow Girl, a Netflix series.
Based on the book La chica de nieve by Javier Castillo with some significant revisions, Netflix’s Spanish drama The Snow Girl is both a terrifying what-if scenario and an engrossing crime-thriller piece of television.
Due to several extremely serious topics, macabre subplots that don’t even advance the main plot, and a streak of desperation and occasionally brutality that warrants a content warning, at the very least, it also gets the distinguished distinction of being difficult to watch.
- The Baxters plan to buy a 12-acre lease of land for a residential and retail space, which was set for approval at the end of the month by the former mayor. As Charlie is now in charge, he refuses the request, stating that the bid needed to be more competitive as there were no other potential buyers. Due to this, he reopens the bid and encourages the Baxters to reapply. Charlie later reveals to Michael that another buyer mysteriously vanished on the night of the bid submissions and has not been seen since.
- Dick informs Big Mo that Gina made him a better offer for the nightclub. Her proposal is 10 percent above the asking price and cash in hand by the end of the week. Dick informs Big Mo that if she can match Gina’s offer, he can still sell the club to her, and she agrees to the terms.
- After Carlo interrupts Michael and Fia’s meeting at the park, Carlo tells Michael that Fia needs family support after what she’s been through and doesn’t need to be around “a bum who just got out of prison.” Michael calls Carlo out on the statement’s irony and says he’s like Harry, “The Hook.” The man in question was a mobster who was acquitted of murder but was charged with the crime 25 years later. Double jeopardy didn’t apply in the situation as the judge had gotten to.
- Big Mo gives Little Mo cash to buy the product from Roger in Houston. Just before the offer takes place, Big Mo calls Little Mo to tell him not to go ahead with the deal as she must use the money to make up the 10 percent for the nightclub. After Little Mo tells Trey that Big Mo doesn’t wish to move forward, a physical fight ensues, and they are both arrested. Eugene, who has been waiting in the car with the money, flees from the scene with the bag of cash and Little Mo’s cell phone. At Little Mo’s aunt’s house, Eugene panics as he stares at the bag of money and doesn’t know what to do. He then sees Big Mo calling Little Mo’s phone.
- Michael asks Jimmy what he would have done if Adam confessed to the murder of Rocco the day the hit and run happened. Jimmy states that such a tragic accident would have been met with forgiveness and blames Michael’s fear for Adam’s death. He later tells Frankie that if Adam had confessed that evening, he would have killed him with his bare hands.
- Olivia asks Nancy to be allies, as she is having trouble motivating Michael and she thinks that Nancy may be able to help.
- Fia clashes with Gina as she wants Rocco to be christened, but Fia remains reluctant as she’s an atheist. When Michael later visits Fia, they discuss the potential christening. Michael reveals that he fought with his late wife over whether they should christen Adam, as Michael isn’t a believer either. Fia asks him if he regrets giving in, but Michael states that he wishes he’d given in more with disagreements.

Where to watch online
The mystery surrounding the abduction of five-year-old Amaya Martin from Malaga’s annual Magi Parade, also known as the “Three Wise Men,” serves as the central theme of The Snow Girl.
She is briefly separated from her parents during the event’s commotion, but it is long enough for an unidentified assailant to take her. Amaya’s case is looked into by the police and the press in the months and finally, years that follow her disappearance, particularly by an extraordinarily persistent reporter named Miren (a stoicMilena Smit).
Predictions
- Eugene will take off with the money as he’s been left with the bag of cash.
- As Charlie reopened the bidding for the 12-acre lease, I’d imagine the Baxters will try to intimidate him in some way to get their bid approved.
- Once Big Mo finds out Little Mo ended up in jail and doesn’t have her money, there will be serious consequences.

- Your Honor Season 2 Episode 4 Recap
The Snow Girl uses this common formula to make a few wise choices. One is that it portrays events out of order while taking place across several time periods, including the days immediately following Amaya’s abduction, six years later, and nine years later.
You never get lost in the shuffle thanks to the fact that it is always obvious whether we are moving forward or backward in time, and the order of events is frequently employed to good dramatic effect.
Putting the puzzle pieces together to show how something experienced in 2019 began in 2010, and so on, and so forth, can be satisfying.
