A video restorer is mysteriously hired to work on a series of videotapes recovered from a building destroyed in a fire more than 20 years before.
'Archive 81' is a gem for fans of slowly unravelled mysteries. It's a miniseries that draws in with its vague intrigue, minimalist style, the clever use of "found-footage" style, the complex and well-defined main characters, the appearance of a conspiracy and the complete lack of monotony.
What at first is a slight suggestion of a mixture of occult and Sci-Fi, becomes the main ingredient towards the end, and probably damages the quality somewhat, but overall, the series will not cause even the slightest regret.
