The relentless bleakness would be my only quibble with the series; one doesn't often choose to feel as battered as the characters on screen. But you won't be able to turn it off.

The result is satisfyingly twist-filled and chilling in every sense.

Wallander, as you might expect, has a very Scandinavian tone, full of gray landscapes and characters shot through murky panes of glass. But the acting is excellent, down to supporting-cast members.

Vide Shakespeare and all the other roles, Mr. Branagh has never been better cast.

In many ways, Branagh's Wallander slides seamlessly into a long line of screen detectives who think more loudly than they talk.

Still one of the best TV series ever made. There are reasons not to like it sure ( no boobs, too realistic, etc.) but the writing, dialogue, acting and cinematography is world-class. This show doesn't appeal to a wide audience. But if you are old enough to hold a conversation for three minutes without texting, don't need to see explosions and boobs every three minutes and can accept that superheroes aren't real you may love it. Goodbye farce-infused veneer-thin fly by the seat of your pants plot twists and make way for something that is intelligent and realistic.
