    Exciting

    Keep my interest. Found myself worrying about what would happen next to the characters. Good show.

    OMG - Who wrote this?

    This could have been a decent plot if it was a few episodes longer - I think they had to edit several hours of plot and wrap -up. The lead detective is watchable but he makes a bunch of mistakes. Several of the casts' background stories - his included are murky. Most of the actors, especially the women, are downright grotesque looking or just hateable. The finale clears up NOTHING. If the biggest crimes in Iceland are drugs and money laundering, the editor and director qualify for both in making this. #SAD

    Beautiful, interesting and suspenseful

    I am probably very biased, since I am fascinated by the Icelandic language and culture. I really like this series. Very similar to The Cliff. If desperately needs a follow up season. Looks like one may be in the works, but probably delayed. Cannot find information on it.

    Gorgeous landscapes and a gripping story

    One of the most exciting crime series I ever saw.

    Islands beautyfull and yet somehow frightening landscapes are part of the characteristics and of the story.

    The story is gripping, thrilling, absorbing.

    I binge watched it and I recommend it for a rainy weekend, too.

    Iceland

    If you are going to commit a crime, do it in Iceland! This show really makes the police in Iceland look like idiots. For the citizens there, I hope it's nothing like this series. Other than it being very aggravating, this is still a good series and I'm glad I watched it. The country is beautiful, only for a visit though, wouldn't want to live there....too cold!
