    9-part crime drama starting on C4, 10PM on Tues 20 Jan. There's a summary here with a slightly spoilerish trailer here:
    Reykjavik, and the body of a promising young ballerina is found hanged on the main stage of the National Theatre. But what at first appears to be a simple case of suicide soon spirals into a twisted web of manipulation, betrayal, and murder.

    For Logi, a washed-up lawyer, uncovering the truth behind the girl’s death is his last chance at redemption.

    For Brynhildur, Logi’s one remaining friend and fellow lawyer, the death falls even closer to home, as an event from her own past ties her inextricably to the victim’s troubled family.

    And for the dedicated but destructive detective Gabriella, it becomes an obsessive hunt for a killer that puts her at odds not only with her superiors but her partner as well.

    One by one the paths of these three troubled souls will converge deep in the cold heart of Iceland’s capital city, where unknown but powerful forces will stop at nothing to ensure a horrific truth stays buried; that there are some crimes far darker than murder.
    Some seriously Nordic Noir going on there ...

    OK, mea culpa, now any thoughts about the show itself?

    Walter ****ing Presents can feck off! Channel 4 are a pain doing this sort of thing - just do a netflix or show it on the box.

    I really enjoyed Trapped and am looking forward to watching more Icelandic drama.

    But I don't have access to Walter so I shall have to wait for the DVD.

    I'm not inclined to watch the first episode at this stage when I know I can't watch the rest.
