A small town in East Iceland. Winter. A fire in which a woman died. A ferry from Denmark. In the background, an international port project connecting the region to China. And found a headless body or members. Are its events? A violent storm force and local travelers to cohabit few days. They are cut off from the world. Among them are hiding suspects. At the local police to investigate, Andri, its leader, disillusioned cop in mind. This is the starting point of Trapped, Icelandic series whose first episodes are broadcast tonight on France 2.
A cold series
The Nordic works, specifically Scandinavian offer an interesting paradox. They rely on a mix of exoticism, crystallized by the idea of a large North fantasized, and an uncanny linked to the geography and climate of these countries. This feeling is especially present when discussing the thriller, which allows authors to add, according to local audiovisual tradition, surgical cold. Trapped is no exception to the rule. Evidenced by its mineral generic cold flesh dotted with plans and swollen. The series is a reflection of this introduction, sober. And cold. This is where the rub. The program is just too cold and lack of artistic claw incorporating the viewer into the vertigo of this camera policeman. The achievement rather effective, seems unambitious.
Mysteries pending
However, the scenario has enough to keep entertained fans of the genre as neophytes. Several intrigues potentially related, intermingle. What will we learn from the initial fire? The international port project smells of sulfur. What is behind this ambition? Why the ferry commander he stubbornly refuses to cooperate? But above all, who owns this torso slashed with knives? And who is the murderer? Obviously these first episodes leave too much outstanding issues not lead to the following, which promise to be rich in revelation. But even more we want to be taken Trapped trap.
This Monday on France 2, 20 h 55.
