Trapped (Icelandic Thriller)

[Ciggavelli]

Anybody up on Trapped? I'm about to start it now. The last two episodes air next Saturday on BBC 4

In Seyðisfjörður, a remote village in the east of Iceland, Hjörtur and his girlfriend Dagný speed on a motorbike towards an abandoned factory. Here they have created a secret hideaway where they come to drink, smoke and make love. A sudden fire breaks out and Hjörtur desperately tries but fails to rescue Dagný from the flames.

Seven years later, a mutilated torso is caught in fishing nets just off the local harbour, shortly before the arrival of a vehicle ferry from Hirtshals in Denmark.[4] Andri, the town's chief of police, starts the investigation with his staff of two junior officers, Hinrika and Ásgeir, while a blizzard sets in, preventing detectives from Reykjavík from reaching the town.

The discovery of the torso is initially linked to someone aboard the ferry. Andri therefore orders that no-one may leave the vessel, pending the arrival of the investigation team from Reykjavík. However, the passengers, frustrated by the delay in disembarkation, are eventually allowed off the ship after Captain Carlsen shuts down the heating system in the hope of avoiding a police investigation on board. Jonas Malakauskas, a Lithuanian criminal involved in people trafficking, manages to escape from the ferry driving a caravan, where he has imprisoned Joy, a Nigerian girl, and her younger sister, Nishadi. Jonas crashes the vehicle and flees on foot, but is quickly captured.

Meanwhile, the torso is stolen from the fish factory where it was being stored, and Jonas escapes from a police cell, but he is found dead after crashing a stolen police car. A photo of the torso is posted on Twitter, and Hjörtur – one of those who was aboard the ferry – is arrested. He admits to posting the tweet but denies stealing the body, and he is later released when a further body part is found in the harbour together with a receipt which shows the dead man was never on the ferry.

Local officials, led by former police chief Hrafn and politician Friðrik Davíðsson, are trying to tempt the locals to sell their land with a view to Chinese investment in the port, but there is strong opposition from Guðmundur, an old fisherman and hunter. Guðmundur warns Hrafn that an avalanche is likely and sets off with dynamite to try to draw the snow down safely. His son, Sigurður, tries to stop him, and Andri follows, but the charge, though initially successful, sets off a second avalanche which engulfs all three men

You wear a wig and white face paint? Why don't they just hire a white actor?

Yeah, it didn't end very well. It was promising, but I left the show feeling a little disappointed.

I'm watching the Girlfriend Experience starting tonight, as well as Vikings, Archer and Orphan Black. Kimmie Schmidt season 2 starts tomorrow on netflix (I know, I know....it's kinda a corny show, but I like it ). I'm also watching the Americans, Banshee, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Better Call Saul, Vinyl, Jane the Virgin (I know another corny show...hahahaha), Indian Summers (UK), and Home Fires (UK). The Night Manager starts in the US soon, if you haven't seen it (the full 1080p UK Blu-Ray is out though...it's 6 episodes and really good).

I just finished up Billions, Shameless, and Togetherness, which I thought were all pretty good
