Home for Christmas 1:2 "Heavy Dating" (2019)

So we start this episode flashing back and forth between Johanne's (Ida Elise Broch) date with the guy she ran into and her telling her roommate Jørgunn (Gabrielle Leithaug) about said date. They saw Love Actually and he then spent the rest of their date trashing it, knowing fully that it's her favorite movie. So then Jørgunn starts helping her with the app Lovematch (it's Tinder). The next day Johanne goes out with this psycho who takes her to an escape room and then flies into a rage and destroys the plastic Santa. She tells him off and tries to leave, but he follows her. Luckily, she see Thomas (Kingsford Siayor), who gets rid of the dude. The next guy Johanne goes out with is super-sporty Stein (Mads Sjøgård Pettersen). Their date at a spinning class is awkward, but not a complete trainwreck. But then, the next morning, they go skiing, and it doesn't go well. She leaves, telling him off, and he just keeps asking when they can go out again. She has a shitty day at work and swears off men altogether until Jørgunn reminds her that she could always just get laid. Which is how Johanne goes out with juvenile Jonas (Felix Sandman). He's 19. She's 30. They get drunk (which is legal in Norway in case you forgot) and then bang. A lot. I'm grossed out, but Johanne seems to have a great time. So. Good for her.

Overall, I give this episode 2.5 stars. Maybe don't let the men plan the dates?

Home for Christmas 1:5 "Heartache" (2019)

This one is a fucking trip y'all. So Johanne (Ida Elise Broch) goes to some biatholon thing with her dad, where she runs into super-sporty Stein (Mads Sjøgård Pettersen), who honestly is growing on me. Then she gets called in to work. At work, Sebastian (Arthur Hakalahti) has made arrangements to go to rehab after he gets out of the hospital and hugs Johanne for being real with him. In the hall, Henrik (Oddgeir Thune) wants to discharge Sebastian and have him come in for IVs every other day. Johanne says it's a bad idea because as an addict, Sebastian isn't likely to come back of his own free will at this point. Henrik listens. Then we find out one of her co-workers has started dating crazy escape room guy. So that's fun.

Johanne sees on Facebook that it's juvenile Jonas's (Felix Sandman) birthday, so she and Jørgunn (Gabrielle Leithaug) bake him a "love cake." Johanne shows up to the party without talking to Jonas, which goes about as well as you would imagine. So she ends up at Thomas's (Kingsford Siayor) bar and starts drinking with him and one of her friends.

Fast-forward to the next morning, Jørgunn is asking Johanne questions. Johanne doesn't wanna talk about any of it, but she (and we) know that some stepping out has happened, and we're not talking about Jonas.

Overall, I give this one 4.5 stars because I AM HOOKED.

Home For Christmas 1:1 "The Big Christmas Lie" (2019)

This show is on Netflix, and I'm into it, but I'm not confident that I'm going to really know the names of the characters because it's a Norwegian show. So it's all in Norwegian with English subtitles (there are a few random lines in English, maybe to keep us interested?). But I'm gonna try to take more notes for episode 2.

Johanne (Ida Elise Broch) is a nurse, single, 30 years old, and concerned about not having a boyfriend. Her last relationship ended three years ago, and her family has shunned her to the eating with the kids at holidays. So she lies and says she has a boyfriend at Advent. Now she has 24 days to find an actual boyfriend to take home for Christmas. Now, for some reason that is not really clear to me, she doesn't want to go after the doctor she works with Henrik (Oddgeir Thune) who is clearly into her. That feels like the easiest thing, but I guess work might be awkward later. She goes to a bar to try speed dating (has that ever worked for anyone?). But I'm hoping she gets with the bartender, Thomas (Kingsford Siayor), because he seems sweet and not creepy. At the very end of the episode, she literally runs into a guy she actually kinda likes, so we'll see how that goes I guess.

Overall, I give this 3.5 stars.

  RVK’s Trapped Season 2, Episode 1 Directed by Baltasar Kormákur Written by Clive Bradley & Sigurjón Kjartansson

In Reykjavik, a man lights himself on fire while holding onto the Minster of Industries, Halla (Sólveig Arnarsdóttir), right outside the parliament building. The man dies, but Halla manages to make it out alive, severely burned. Andri Ólafsson (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson)— now a member of the Reykjavik police force— is soon on the scene in the aftermath. He discovers the deceased man, Gisli, was the minister’s “twin brother.” They start looking through the man’s vehicle and find some protest flyers marked Iceland Unite, from a group named Hammer of Thor.

Halla’s nephew, Vikingur (Aron Már Ólafsson), is told about what happened on the job site where he works. He’s informed his father’s dead. He’s comforted by co-worker Ebo (Kingsford Siayor). Are they only work buddies? There’s a “special relationship” according to Ebo’s asshole boss, Finnur (Guðjón Davíð Karlsson).

Aside from police work, Andri still has his ex-wife Agnes (Nína Dögg Filippusdóttir) around, and they do their best to raise the kids between them. Unfortunately their daughter, Þórhildur (Elva María Birgisdóttir), is living up north with her aunt and having behavioural troubles. She doesn’t much care to talk to her parents, only when necessary. She does bond with one of Gisli’s nephews, Aron (Stormur Jón Kormákur Baltasarsson), over their fucked up families. Andri has to go north himself, back to his old stomping grounds where the protest by Hammer of Thor is planned. He heads back, where he’s picked up at the airport by Hinrika (Ilmur Kristjánsdóttir) like old times. A new aluminium plant’s being built on the outskirts of town. Not everybody’s happy about it, either. Back in town, Andri starts asking around about the minister’s brother, Gisli. Nobody thought he would’ve done something so drastic, despite recently having his property confiscated. Gisli had it rough— his wife took up with his brother, then his farm went “down the drain.” Andri and Hinrika look through his old place. While there, they experience a mini earthquake. Hinrika says it’s been happening since the drilling for the plant started. They find a bunch of the sheep in the barn dead. That’s when Vikingur turns up angry at the cops for having evicted his father. Andri talks to the young man about his father and their family, though the son doesn’t seem to know much, grieving over the violent death of Gisli.

A friend of Gisli’s named Ketill (Steinn Ármann Magnússon) turns up outside, where Asgeir (Ingvar Sigurdsson) is by himself, and starts shit with his sons and a group of others, grabbing the cop’s radio and keys. At the same time Andri and Hinrika are talking with the ex, Ketill and his crew take all the dead sheep and bring them into town, dropping them in the public square. Ketill rages about poisoned land sold “to foreign corporations like it‘s a cheap whore.” It’s the working class against capitalists in this little Icelandic town. Finnur’s brother-in-law to Gisli and doesn’t have much good to say about the deceased, though he shows up with Gisli’s brother to shut the whole thing down at the square. He’s released without any charges for the confrontation. Then Andri and Hinrika speak to Ketill, who’s not what you’d call forthcoming. He refers to “The Saga of Gisli,” one of the Sagas of Icelanders, trying to say Gisli did what he did “in the name of justice.” Question is, will others do the same? Ketill says yes.

Vikingur is devastated over his father and finds comfort in Ebo, who tries to assuage him of the guilt he feels. The son believes he failed his father. At the same time, he and Ebo have trouble being together because of bigoted attitudes in their small town. Ebo tells Vikingur about Finnur threatening him over their secretive relationship. During their talk, they’re also seen on a security camera. Will this come back to haunt them?

Andri doesn’t have much luck reconnecting with his daughter. He’s given a bed at Hinrika’s place, at least. He sits for dinner with her and Bárður (Guðjón Pedersen). He spends the night flicking around his girl’s social media, worried what she and Aron are up to and generally stressing out about having a typically rebellious teenage daughter.

That night, Finnur goes out for a cigarette when he sees a car pulling up by the barn on his property. He heads down to take a closer look. A while later his wife can’t find him. She goes out looking for him near the barn. She finds Finnur tied upside down from the rafters— dead. A decent start for Season 2. Not nearly as intriguing as Season 1’s beginning. Father Gore remains very excited to see what comes next because either way it’ll be great to see Andri, as well as other returning characters, in a new mystery. Some of the new additions to the cast are already proving to be worth the time. And, of course, there are 10 episodes, so the first couple might set everything up real well then start to really turn the screws on us.
