Plot summary
First thing that we should note is that the Icelandic atmosphere is felt immensely in the series. The creators seem to know what they are doing.
One police officer is busy with getting to the bottom of an awful crime committed in the period of the blizzard that happened to the remote a very small Icelandic city. It is a murder, a very unusual case.
The attempts of the police seem to go down the drain. The plot comes to be captivating indeed. The thing is that every episode has a much unexpected ending and viewers get a regular suspense as the plot is twisted in such a way that people can’t even imagine what is going to be next.
When to expect the launch of the new season?
Taking into account the captivating feature of the plot, it seems that the series has an immense potential. However, the developers have stashed away the series for BBC Four. It deserves to have broadcasts on the prime channels indeed.
Let’s speak a little about the rigorous numbers of the rating. So the debut has counted more than 1.2 million people and then it dropped down to about 1 million. However, if to look at the rating on IMDb, it became clear the common audience has highly appreciated the multipart movie. It constitutes more than 8 points from 10.
People adored the way of directing at various websites commenting the series. There were also a lot of commentaries concerning the charisma of the front character, the police officer. And generally the scenery was dear to the viewers’ taste.
Though the Trapped season 2 release date remains now unknown as well as the possibility of the renewal, we hope that it will appear any announcement or hint about the continuance of the story.
