I've recently been watching the series True Nordic Crime on Prime Video. It's interesting especially considering the stereotype of Iceland being a sleepy, safe and quiet country. Yet humans live there, and humans commit crimes so there's no reason to believe that Iceland is some crime free utopia. It is not as vivid and lurid as an American true crime series which I don't mind. The show is a documentary and that is clear in terms of the production. What I've been trying to find out what is/ who performs the theme music to the series. It seems to me that the theme is almost exactly like the music in the song "Over" by Portishead. That opening guitar/bass lick is almost note for note to that song. Anyone know the answer to this?
What a welcome change from the typical North American way of handling television. This show presents facts in an orderly, no-nonsense way; there's no attempt to overly dramatize the information, and no sign of the hyper, almost frenzied way that true crime shows are typically produced. The episodes are interesting, straightforward, succinct, and executed with an almost serene narration that makes each new case more fascinating than the last.
I'm sad to find that only one season was made. There definitely needs to be more television produced in Iceland.
And that theme music is incredibly catchy.
