Brilliantly opportunistic to take the live volcano Katla and turn it into a mysterious and suspenseful series. Families and scientists around the volcano are immersed in an alien moon-like landscape as everything is covered in grey dust, so it was natural to include an alien and slight horror element to the story. As "beings" emerge from the volcano, each affected family deals with this independently and eventually there is a coming-together and discussion about why these mysterious events are happening. The pace is deliberately slow, in synch with the gradually-ascending pyroclastic cloud, and the abandoned town and sleepy hotel near the volcano. Each episode ends in a cliffhanger and makes you want to watch the next one, so be prepared for a binge. Not recommended for younger viewers due to violent acts by an excellent child actor.
