This was a gripping show. Beautiful, bleak scenery of the Icelandic landscape, evocative soundtrack that didn't intrude. Very violent at times, but a compassionately told story.

Ooooo this looks like perfect viewing during this heatwave.

Side note: according to just watch, it's not available for streaming, but you can buy it and stream it on Amazon Prime. Sadly just watch is not very reliable these days.

It's available on Netflix here in South Africa, maybe with the appropriate VPN settings...

That's really confusing, as there seems to be a sequel that's called "Entrapped" as well.

Yeah the only Entrapped I'm seeing on Netflix says it's a sequel to Trapped.

Yep, my bad. Entrapped is a sequel series.
