Customer Reviews

The dark side of investigating.

Wallander - 2008-2016 12 Episodes Based on the books by Henning Mankell This series is already being compared to other BBC productions. So, I will also say there is a lot in common with Midsomer Murders (1997 TV series) that spends as much time on the family as it does on the investigation. However, it is much darker in content, not bloodier but psychologically darker. Kurt Wallander (Kenneth Branagh) must solve seemingly unsolvable crimes. This is set today and not a period piece. Of course, Wallander's job may come at the cost of his family and relationships, giving this series depth. Right after Branagh, it was surprising to see how well David Warner played Kurt's father, Povel (1 episode, 2008).
