Ragnarok Season 1 Episode 2 Episode 2

  • January 31, 2020

In Ragnarok season 1 episode 2 entitled "Episode 2," the series continues to explore the story of Magne, a teenage boy who has just moved with his mother and brother to the small town of Edda. As he begins to adapt to his new life in this rural location, events begin to unfold that suggest that something strange is happening in this seemingly peaceful community.

The episode opens with Magne trying to make sense of what he saw the day before - a bolt of lightning striking him and his brother Laurits as they walked through a field. Laurits feigns ignorance and changes the subject, though we get a sense that there's more to his nonchalance than meets the eye. As Magne heads out to explore the town, he's met by a number of strange experiences - from a weird bird flying overhead to a group of locals who seem to act like they're afraid of him.

Meanwhile, we're also introduced to the Jutul family, who are a major force in Edda. Frederik, the father, is introduced as a wealthy businessman with an iron grip on the town's economy and political scene. His family is also portrayed as something of an oddity - with younger members of the clan (including teenage Fjor) acting like they're above average human abilities. There are also a number of hints dropped that suggest there's something wrong with the Jutuls - from their predilection for wealthy but grotesque artwork to hints that they may be involved in some sort of nefarious activity.

Magne's search for answers continues throughout the episode. He meets Isolde, a girl who seems to have a connection to the strange bird he saw earlier. He also runs into an old man who tells him about a prophecy in which a thunder god will rise up to fight against the Jutuls and bring about a new era of peace in Edda. As Magne struggles to make sense of all these pieces, he's also dealing with the more mundane trials and tribulations of teenage life - including pursuing a romantic interest in Gry, the school's resident bad-girl.

As the episode progresses, the threads of the plot begin to contrast. We see more hints that the Jutuls are up to something - with a mysterious song wafting out of their house at night and Frederik holding secret meetings with the mayor of Edda. At the same time, Magne begins to feel a growing sense of power and responsibility - sensing that he may be the figure from the prophecy and must take action to prevent some sort of coming disaster.

In the final scenes of the episode, everything comes to a head. Magne discovers that his newfound power allows him to control lightning and thunder, and uses it to stop a car from crashing into Gry's father. Meanwhile, we also see the Jutuls engaging in what seems to be a ritual of some sort - leading us to believe that more sinister happenings are in store.

Overall, Ragnarok season 1 episode 2 is an engaging continuation of the series, building on the foundations laid in the premiere and establishing new threads of the story. The way the show balances elements of the mystical with the everyday is particularly effective, helping to create a sense of unease and tension that keeps viewers engaged throughout. If you're a fan of supernatural drama or coming-of-age stories, this is definitely one to check out.
