A limbless and headless body, a small town, and a violent snowstorm that cuts off the outside world: Season 1 of the Icelandic mystery-thriller series Trapped had a simple yet creepy premise that hooked viewers and critics alike (it has a coveted 100 percent-fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes).

Creator Baltasar Kormákur took three long years to deliver a second season, but it’s well worth the wait: A grisly assassination attempt on a female politician forces police officer Andri Ólafsson (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson), now working in the capital, Reykjavik, back to his old neighborhood to investigate what could be a connection between the disturbing attack and some of the residents.

There, he reunites with former colleague Hinrika (Ilmur Kristjánsdóttir), who’s now the police chief. The two work to unravel a complicated and dangerous case that involves dead animals, a terrorist plot, and even more murder.

    I wish that I could concur with the headline of this article, but contrary to season 1 which opened up with a dynamic premise and kept delivering, season 2 is very low keyed, drags on and on, has little action to keep you rivited to your seat and I believe that boredom has set in even for the actors. I think I saw Olafur Olafsson roll his eyes into the back of his head or perhaps he was just trying to keep awake. The writing of season 2 doesn't do justice to these superb actors.
