Black Sands - 2021 - 6/10
AKA - Svörtu Sandar
Police thriller set in remote Iceland town.
The dead body, a survivor, and a young officer who has been charting a series of accidental deaths in the region.
The main protagonist is not that cop, but Anita, returning from Reykjavik.
Apparently she left because of her abusive mother, a chain smoking, passive-aggressive type.
Anita, like most TV crime solvers, is screwed up. She never even bothers to wear a uniform, she wears the same sweater day after day after day.
Episode after episode, more characters reveal their script-written weirdness.
Plot and pacing are pretty good. Characters and motivations, cliché city.
