Tonight's episode, Before the Frost is based on the same book which also inspired the first episode of the Krister Wallander

They make Sweden look such a dark damp depressing place, not a very good advert for Swedish tourism.

Nice to see Kurt and his daughter together and getting on well. ![]() I hope there's another series of this. Very far fetched stories, and quite grim, but worth watching. |

Nah, makes Sweden look a shithole. Good series though, Branagh top class in the role.

Yet another BBC drama with evil Christians in it, not had one of those for a few months.
This series has been disappointing overall I think, good acting from Ken, but everything else is flat, he drains the life out of the programme. |

Goodness, I thought that was so beautifully and intelligently photographed tonight. Some really gorgeous camera work. The composition resembled a Turner at times.
A(nother) series looking as much at international sales as anything else but Branagh makes the journey worthwhile. As always, an outstanding performance. The circle of life eh, whoduthunkit. |

A shithole with bleak but beautiful countryside? Well I never. I think some of the shots look like paintings.
The interiors are also striking - reminds me of Wyeth paintings. I did notice, though, Swedish people when they have visits from old friends never do as we do and say "Sit down, have a cuppa tea, do you want a biscuit?" They just stand around looking glum. Or maybe that's just Kurt and his mates. |

The story was written by a Swedish author ten years ago.

Some very striking images tonight, what with the burning swans and the burning church.
It's been a good series, albeit short. |

Thanks, xanax.
Actually sounds kinda lame. I love Mankell's books but I don't think Wallander makes good TV. None of the versions I've seen anyway. And Branagh just makes me want to throttle him, miserable sod. Actually fell asleep in front of it last week.... |

Is it just me or was he sniffing round that Ann-Britt character? Is he meant to have some thing for her?

It was a bit of an odd speech she made to him, though, about how he didn't need to keep visiting her, basically saying "get lost". Maybe he does have a thing for her and she was brushing him off.
