This is a great series, and I do like the fact we travel to parts of Scandanavia, they speak different languages, and the cast is so brilliant, I can't find fault with any of them. The signature song is great too, sung in English, and is aimed at the Eagle. It seems Icelanders like to attach themselves to an animal or bird spirit, bit like North American tribes. An eagle hovers and sees everything from a height.
Mind you he has a weakness for attractive women, but they are too smart to let him rule them. But that is the only spoiler in my review.
Halgrim and Maria are married in real life, and the intimacy they generate seems to reflect a deep affection.
Mind you Iceland with all its geothermal activity, and volcanoes must be a hazardous place to live, maybe breed a different type of human to the rest of Europe. He mentions as a young boy, they were evacuated because of a volcanic eruption. Good viewing, and should not be missed.
