The Valhalla Murders (2019–2020)
7/10
[7.4] Pretty much Icelandic without soul
5 December 2020
The Valhalla Murders is a series with a lot more good filming, nice special effects with realistic wounds and blood, average acting and not too bad of a story than suspense. It is empty on the inside because of the bad screenplay, some plot holes, horrible soundtrack and the soul-less acting throughout most of the series, especially by the main actors. Interestingly enough, the supporting cast did a far better job!

When you have a series in which the filming, scenes and sceneries attract you more than the acting, you can see a real problem. If the said series is a Crime Thriller one, then it shows the ineptness of the writers and then producers in their specified jobs. That pretty much sums up the title.

That being said, it is worth a watch and a potential season 2 for the leads to polish up more their acting. Strangely enough, Icelandic Crime Dramas lacks real suspense and thrill. Maybe they should look up to their Danish and Swedish counterparts.
