- TriviaThe musical composition of the series theme and season one was by Jóhann Jóhannsson in collaboration with composer and cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir. After the death of Jóhannson in 2018 Hildur Guðnadóttir has been lead composer for season 2. At the end of season 2 there is a dedication to Johann Johannson (1969-2018).
- GoofsThe snow has inconsistent texture and depth throughout the entire show. This is of course because the filming has taken place over a considerable time. Whereas the story supposedly takes place over about ten days. Some of the snow is obviously spring snow, and wet and heavy, whereas other snow is fresh and very cold.
Featured review
If you look for one of the most accomplished police drama series search no further. Excellent writing, photography and acting. You'll be immersed in a small Icelandic town where a series of crimes (murders included) need to be solved. Top notch realism. It's awesome how easily you can fall in love with well built/developed characters even if they're not good looking, dysfunctional, exceptionally smart or heroic: just normal. It's even more awesome you can fall in love with a well written police drama even if no child was killed, no supernatural stuff is hinted as possibly present, no worldwide conspiracy menaces mankind, no criminal mastermind always wins. It's a good lesson for all those creators modeling their products on a dumb target audience: you don't need to. There's already youtube and Hollywood and special effects and cartoons for that: if you write series, do it well.
