The Cliff, Series 2: Depth of Darkness
(2014)
aka ‘The Lava Field’ / ‘Hraunið’ [subtitles]
A second four-episode miniseries featuring Björn Hlynur Haraldsson as Icelandic police detective Helgi Marvin. The murder investigation is again languid, a small-scale affair set against bleak backdrops and repressed trauma. The pace and tension do ramp up, but to a muddled conclusion.
