I May Have Been the Wrong Audience for the Ethics of "Nisser" ("Elves")

Bobby and I just finished the new Danish-language Netflix series Nisser (Elves) last night. It is a Christmas-themed horror series about a family taking a Christmas vacation on a remote island with a populations of ravenous elves walled behind a sinister fence. These are not curly-toed Christmas elves; they're not even hack-happy Noldorin Elves. No, these are the old-school creepy-as-fuck elves of Nordic tradition.

There was a lot I liked about the series. (Which I suspect Bobby suggested specifically for me and as a kinda-sorta-homeopathy for the seasonal affective disorder that is raging through my brain right now. I do love dark fiction, whereas the spun-sugar pop cultural confections of this time of year, perhaps counterintuitively, often make me feel like I have a sliver lodged in my corpus callosum.)
