Just a heads up if anyone is interested but the new series of Wallander ( Krister Henrickson) is out. Happy days for me
New Wallander (Swedish)
- Thread starter Mongeddavid
- Start date
Mullardman
Moderately extreme...
What do you mean by 'out'?
I watched the recent 'Fifth Woman' one on the telly. It was pretty good except for way too much use of grainy/washed out/trendy/arty camerawork. I quite like to see what is happening when I am watching things visually with my eyes on the TV.

A mate of mine rocked up at http://www.crimetime.co.uk/mag/index.php/showarticle/4705 and had a thoroughly good time with more eccentric jumpers and open sandwiches than he cold shake his fist at!

Wallander has been made with 3 different actors (UK) Brannagh (Sweden) Lassgard and (Sweden) Henriksen.
The latter has a new series out and the first episode is based on the last novel. I enjoyed this portrayal the most despite the fact that previously only one episode was based on a Mankell book. In fact it was the death by suicide of the rather wonderful actress playing Linda Wallander in series 1 that partly led Mankell's decision in ending the Wallander Novels.
Anyway the first episode of season 3 is out there with some reasonable if sometimes flaky subtitles

I think those episodes said more about how the Germans perceived the Swedes than anything else, as they were made for German TV

I would agree with that and despite some fairly poor direction in parts the films are generally solid and entertaining. Incidentally i have just watched the second episode (season 3) of Henricksons Wallander and it was very good. It is missing a touch of the humor and character interaction of the first two seasons but I imagine thats by design due to the nature of the last novel.

Not on the bbc at the mo
Sorry, I thought it was understood that it is being shown in Sweden and therefore we can expect a showing in the UK in a while.
There is a new kenny series also on the beeb, but this will be prime time. I do enjoy his version as well. (Although Warner playing his father was outstanding.)
