TV review: Fraught drama about a volcano erupting — I love it

Katla works because it is beautifully understated, focused on families trying to go about their daily lives as the world threatens to fall apart around them.
(Netflix) is fraught from the first frame. A wriggling hand covered in ash, a bit of tense cello, you’re not going to get much feel-good from this eight-part drama. But then a show about a remote Icelandic community living near a volatile volcano was never going to feel like .
