Creepy child continuing to be creepy.
Glad Darri has a conversation with the landlady, although he’s a science person he must believe her somewhere, somehow. And hopefully “realise” his wife is in danger. Or suspect it at least.
Also wow Rakel, wow. I hadn’t expected that.
I find it peculiar how none of the Dopplers recognise themselves. I mean at least the Gunhilds could talk to each other and realise a lot of things.
The ravens are so ominous. Does it keep dying and being reborn, in an eternal cycle? At first I just thought it only happened once but it just died again. :thinking:
And something about Gisli is off. I don’t recall what his story was, but unless he just transferred it’s strange he doesn’t recognise Darri’s child or doesn’t know his story. Like, saying it’s a custody case. Living in the same town he should know their child died. And the thing about there being an alarm at the camp but him ignoring it makes me wonder whether Ása actually managed to warn the town but nobody listened……..
Also: Icelanders behaving like tourists, driving in dangerous conditions. And running out of fuel no less.
And wtf. This show is exceptional at cliff hangers.
So we know it’s not just the dead coming back, because of Gunnhild. But she kind of had gone back to Sweden so in a way she was “dead” in Iceland. But now Gríma…? Maybe it’s her before the trauma? Like a different version. Like they’re all different versions of themselves.
These are just my thoughts and I'm not an expert whatsoever
Pros: actors and actresses, photography, scenery, colours.
+ Benedict and Eloise are lovely and their stories are the most interesting at the moment, either because I'm curious about how they'll tell certain situations or because I have no idea where they'll go. (I didn't read the books)
+ In general I liked the characters, I don't likelike all of them, but I like how they're built. They're not the reason I didn't appreciate the show.
+ Sibling's scenes:
Eloise and Benedict smoking, Daphne Anthony and the warm milk, Colin in general, Eloise and sweets...
CONS:
1) Plot: I found it full of clichés, ridiculously predictable and absurd at the same time. If you look to a list of romantic/drama clichés and then you put them in line you have the plot of the series. It's also true that sometimes very predictable plot are very enjoyable because the narration of the facts is compelling. For me, this is not the case. I found episode 4 absurdly ridiculous.
Instead, despite the fact I got it since Ep 5-6, I liked the revelation at the end of the season. Again, I'm not an expert. This is just what I've liked and what I didn't.
2) Absence of disclaimer or tw at the beginning of episode 6
3) Absence of Simon's point of view regarding what happens in episode 6
4) Costumes: I didn't like the costumes at all, they looked modern, but I'm not an expert so instead I advise to watch Karolina Żebrowska's video regarding that department.
