This is a great series with intriguing characters and an engrossing (if over-complicated) story line. Unfortunately, by episode 9 things fall apart...badly. One idiotic motivation or action by a character follows another until you realize these people are not just naive but sloppy, stupid and moronic. Icelanders, especially the police, come across with the IQ's and presence of 5-year-olds. But it's not Iceland: it's a lack of imagination, expertise and effort by the writer(s) who manufacture ridiculous situations (ignored phone calls, people fleeing danger but totally unaware of anything around them etc.) that defy reason. It's a lazy way to begin wrapping up an otherwise fine series. I couldn't finish the season because I lost faith in the skills and intelligence of the creators.
