Islande. Un an auparavant a eu lieu une violente éruption du volcan sous-glaciaire " Katla ". Au coeur de la ville de Vik, la cité la plus proche, la glace commence à fondre. Les habitants évacuent la région. Les quelques personnes restantes parviennent à fournir le service communautaire nécessaire. La région semble de plus en plus apocalyptique. Des éléments mystérieux, enfouis et gelés dans le glacier depuis la préhistoire, commencent à émerger de la fonte des glaces et ont des conséquences catastrophiques...

I really wanted to like this one, the set up was so interesting. But it ended up being so disappointing. The way the characters acted it was like they were just puppets being pushed along by the story rather than the story being shaped by the characters themselves. And the ending was the most dissatisfying thing. I usually like dark stuff like that but it just ended up being bland.
This series reminded me of another Icelandic show, Fortitude (2015) . Katla was filmed during the Covid epidemic near the sub-glacial volcano the show is named after. I found it interesting, and creepy without being overly graphic. I enjoyed it.
I thought this was brilliant - very nordic, dark, slow paced, thoughtful, complex - and I loved the sub-titles for the Swedish dialogue. Very interesting story line which for me had a some surprises from my initial thoughts. I hope that they don't devalue this with a second season though!
[Netflix] A foray into the Nordic tradition of the "doppelgänger" that manages to be forceful by creating an eerie atmosphere. At times it reminds of "The revenants" (Canal+, 2012-2015) in the way the "returnees" interact in real life, and the complex decisions they cause in real people. Somehow the imperfect world is threatened by an idealized life, "doppelgänger" are dangerous to the extent that society is flawed.
Great show. Every episode was exciting amd tbe lamguage is very beautiful to listen to. Really sad season 2 isnt happening...
