Wallander, Series 2

(BBC Four, 2009-2010) [Swedish, subtitled]

13 feature-length episodes. The Swedish setting makes for a point of difference but doesn’t inoculate against plot contrivances. While trainee officers Isabelle (Nina Zanjani) and Pontus (Sverrir Gudnason) are good value, Wallander himself (Krister Henriksson) is a study in awkward, ineffectual doddering.
