It might be because I've had zero human contact in the past 33 days, but I've developed a minor obsession with the Icelandic language. I love its soft fricatives and its rhythmic vowels and how every sentence spoken in Trapped sounds like a lightly frostbitten man putting a woolen sweater on a fox. (Even the sentences that describe the angle and depth of a half-dozen stab wounds in graphic detail. Again, I HAVE BEEN ALONE FOR WEEKS.)I’ve just started the second season of Trapped, and I’m forcing myself to ration the remaining episodes. In the first 50 minutes, Andri Olafsson has already had to deal with a self-immolation, an assault on a police officer, a far-right extremist group, an environmentally questionable construction project, a minor earthquake, and several dozen dead sheep.He’s also had one huge glass of milk.
The Valhalla Murders is available to stream on Netflix; Trapped is available on Amazon Prime.
