It really was a surprise.Ī surprise it may be, but thanks to the iPlayer, I was able to watch it – this time in English subtitles – and enjoy it hugely. With all this pedigree behind the camera, I was waiting for someone like a BBC Four (it would’ve been a perfect fit for the channel) or a Walter Presents to pick this up.Īnd then I heard the news on the same day of broadcast that BBC Alba – the corporation’s Gaelic-language channel – had picked it up without any fanfare at all. Of course, when I watched it back in 2018 on Icelandic television, it was completely in Icelandic and all I could do is follow it the best I can. ![]() Written by Margrét Örnólfsdóttir (who worked on series two of Trapped and has worked on various Icelandic crime dramas in the past) and adapted from Viktor Arnar Ingólfsson’s novel (as well as being made by Sagafilm), from what I saw it was a good-looking drama perfect for Sunday nights – it had that mainstream feel, it was a period piece (1971), the scenery was gorgeous and there were two strong mystery elements, including a whodunit. ![]() ![]() Last November I went on my semi-regular trip to Reykjavik and, while I was there, state broadcaster RÚV broadcasted the first episode of its big, new crime drama for the winter, The Flatey Enigma. ![]()
