:cheer2:

I'm almost halfway through the first season. I accidentally spoiled the killer for myself online, but there's still two more seasons afterwards that I can watch un-spoiled. :laugh2:

I'm finding it much more compelling than the American version, which, while I enjoyed it, definitely ended up dragging (though I absolutely loved Season 3, easily the best season of the US remake for me).

Well it was gripping and had lots of weather which was good but they did not specifically say it was Iceland, not sure why. The first ep cost 25 milliion squid!. It was a bit of a mish mash of everything happening and lots of mysterious people all being mysterious and thank goodness for the UK?USA cop at the end adding a little levity which it really needed. Still - looking forward to next week.

Definitely intriguing and a little bizarre. I'm interested into seeing how things unfold. :)

And it's so surreal having Sarah Lund, Albus Dumbledore, The Doctor, Beric Dondarrion and Caesar Flickerman all hanging around in the Arctic. :laugh2: :worship:

This show....

What is going on? It is one of the most cryptic programs I have ever watched.

Why did Christopher Eccleston's character have to die off the top? I was really looking forward to seeing him long term in something.

No, they never explained that, i think they're just trying to make a lot of possible suspects. Also, I hate that Sheriff but he's probably too obvious. His accent is really annoying, did you know he's actually Northern Irish?

I still need to watch the latest episode of this. :shocked:

Still, I'll make a prediction. Well, a wish. I'd really like Governor Hildur to be involved in the shady goings-on, just because I'm so used to her being the one solving the murders in "The Killing", I'd love to see her be behind it. :laugh:

Yeah, I remember Dumbledore accusing her and Sherrif Dondarrion in the first episode. Anyone accused that early is probably innocent. :laugh:

(Sorry, I can't help myself, I'll probably be referring to them as the other characters I recognise them as all series. I made an effort to refer to Hildur by her name in this and not Sarah Lund. :hehe:).

They're doing a second series this year. I still need to finish Series 1. :laugh:

Some new cast members have been announced for the new series: Dennis Quaid, Michelle Fairley, Ken Stott, Parminder Nagra, Robert Sheehan.

As with Series 1, some brilliant casting. :clap1:

January 2017. I'd read it was coming this autumn but I guess not. I still need to finish the first series though so this gives me a bit more time to do that at least. I'll get it watched during the autumn, can't watch an Arctic set series during the summer :laugh:

That said... Series 2 features Dennis Quaid, Robert Sheehan (Misfits), Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones' Catelyn) and Parminder Nagra (ER/Agents of SHIELD)... so maybe...
