This Icelandic series kept me interested from the opening scene. It's well acted, the story is compelling, and I finished it in two days (approximate 8 hours total). However, I do have some issues with it. Mainly, some unresolved plot issues and some character behavior that seemed unlikely. For example, when Grima's is in the house and the husband, who's talking to the Grima's "double," never ones notices her. He walks right past her - she's sitting right there! Also, what is the motivation for Grima not just telling him, "Hey look - there's two of us!"? It just seems kind of dumb. No one in real life would not want to prove what they're saying, depressed or not. Also, where are Asa and Mikael's bodies? Surely the ocean will give them up. Another one - the woman who attempted to take Mikael home, along with her husband, had her throat slit open.. Did no one at the accident scene notice this? Did they think auto glass did such a perfect slice of the neck? Finally, where's Gunhild's "double" and why does Thor just sleep with her without freaking the hell out? Maddening. I do understand this is meant to be a series and, potentially, those questions will be answered if another season is made. Still, it's just frustrating. I enjoyed the series enough to give it a 7/10, but I would have rated it higher had people behaved like most would in such a freaky situation. I don't need everything wrapped up in a bow, but at least let's make it make sense.
