Near the Icelandic town of Vik, the subglacial volcano Katla has been erupting for about a year spewing ash and smoke billow from the underground mass and the town is visited in succession by ash-caked clones of dead, living and relocated town folks belonging to all gender and age groups, bestowed with qualities and/or presence that is either sought by themselves or others in them!!!

The plot is intriguing & interesting. The cinematography is beautiful. The direction is super confidant. The editing is sharp. Both casting and enactment are wonderful.

Watch the extremely well made 8 episodes mystery-drama and slightly horror series on Netflix. It will catch your utmost attention.

Watching Katla is an altogether new experience.
