Katla: A Dose Of Mythology And Mystery For Your Sunday

If you still aren’t over from the Asur 2 fever and want to get back to your love for mythology and folktales, we have just the series for you. This will not only take you to a land of mysticism and unknown, it will also take you abroad, we are talking about Katla, an Icelandic series by Netflix.

The cast has names such as GDRN, Íris Tanja Flygenring, and Þorsteinn Bachmann. This show is also directed by Baltasar Kormákur, Börkur Sigþórsson, and Thora Hilmarsdóttir and will take you to a world similar to ‘Dark’. The series came out in 2021 and has been one less known series from the house of Netflix.

During a volcanic eruption in Vik, a small town in Ireland, a woman emerges from the dark, completely covered in ashes. Later we will discover that the woman who used to work at a local hotel for 20 years hasn’t aged a single day.

Now this is not your average spooky ‘coming back to life’ story with a sprinkle of sci-fi, it’s much different, it will take you to the roots of Icelandic mythology. This will follow itself up with some other discovery of Ash-covered people and that will draw the attention of the commoners.

The series also doesn’t limit itself to myth and science but also will make you discover the depths of various relationships, it will make you deal with grief, regret, and loss. A journey that you will never forget, it will also give you philosophical dilemmas, and it will make you think.

The series also ends in a cliffhanger, you will be wanting for more but this will also give you a feeling of completion. A weird feeling indeed. You can stream it on Netflix and to check the trailer out, click below-
