Just over halfway through 'Katla'. A dark and brooding story, set in Iceland and surrounding the events in the town of Vik,where the volcano of the title has been throwing out smoke and ash for a year. Missing people start to re-appear, usually naked and covered in grease and ash. One woman is someone who worked there twenty years earlier; her modern day 'self' has come to check out what is happening and confronted the woman. A child killed in a road accident three years earlier, has returned to his father, who works on the scientific vucanology research station.
Very reminiscent (to me) of the French series 'The Returned' from a few years back. America made a very poor remake of the first series of this, but failed to follow up with a second (as the original had TWO series) which sort of wrapped everything up for the viewer!
I shall finish 'Katla' having watched five of the eight episodes, and report back as to whether it is a good suspenseful tale, or ultimately, a wash out!
