This Icelandic whodunit, set in a stunning location, falls disappointingly short of expectations. Despite the series attempting to capture the beauty of Iceland, geographical inaccuracies abound. The storyline, stretched over 8 agonizing episodes, is plagued by amateurish writing. The dialogue is stilted and unnecessarily melodramatic, riddled with plot holes and distracting tangents. The redeeming quality of the show lies in its depiction of Icelandic scenes, albeit inaccurately portrayed. The performances, however, are a letdown. The lead characters deliver the already lackluster lines with an astonishing lack of skill, with the portrayal of the Darby character standing out as one of the worst acting attempts ever witnessed. Her delivery is not only stilted but one-dimensional, reminiscent of Elizabeth Moss's overused angry stare. Despite a few poorly acted supporting characters, most are lost amidst the convoluted and aimless plot, rendering the series utterly unwatchable. Save yourself the time and skip the finale; it won't salvage this train wreck of a show.

Very unfulfilling ending after slow moving, confusing plot - and I normally love this type of series - just not this one.
