Katla is an Icelandic sciencefiction series which aired on Netflix. The series premiered on June 17, 2020.

One year after the outbreak of a violent eruption of the subglacial volcano Katla, the peace and tranquility in the small town of Vík has been dramatically disturbed with the eruption still active. The ice near the volcano has been melting, the area has been evacuated and only a few remaining people manage to provide the necessary community service in the village, which is now only accessible by crossing the Markarfljót river. The grand area has turned out to be somewhat apocalyptic and Vík is declared a danger zone. Mysterious elements, that have been deeply frozen into the glacier from prehistoric times, start to emerge from the melting ice with consequences no one could ever have foreseen.

There are not very many Icelandic series (I only know The Cliff / Hamarinn), but so far they all seem to have a certain mystery. This also applies to Katla, named after a real volcano. What else they have in common is that they are set in the beautiful desolate landscape of Iceland. In the case of Katla it is gloomy, gray and dark, partly caused by the enormous ash emissions from the Katla, which has been erupting for a year. This contributes enormously to the atmosphere of this series. In the first episode, a mysterious woman is found near the glacier on the volcano, naked and completely covered in a thick layer of ash. She claims to be Swedish who works in the local hotel. But it soon turns out that this was a long time ago and there is a woman with the same name and appearance living in Sweden. Only 20 years older. Anyway, even more ash-covered figures with surprising identities emerge and the mystery only increases. After the first two episodes I gave the series a solid eight. But unfortunately I gradually adjusted that down a bit. There are just some far-fetched plot twists and how everything is ultimately explained is a bit too easy in my opinion. How the residents react to what is happening is also very hypocritical. That may be an Icelandic character trait, but if you see someone you wouldn't expect at all, I think you would react differently. In the end, the mystery was big enough to see through to the end, but there could have been something more to it.
