Wallander Series II continues Sunday, October 10, 2010, on MASTERPIECE MYSTERY! In The Man Who Smiled, a suspicious car accident and a friend's suicide lead Wallander into an international conspiracy that threatens countless innocent lives. Rupert Graves guest stars. (One episode; 90 minutes; TV-PG).I know I haven't reviewed the first episode (Faceless Killers) yet, but the week just got completely away from me. However, that's no comment on the episode because it was FANTASTIC. Since that happened, I may wait to review the series once it comes out on DVD.

Tomorrow on Masterpiece...
Tomorrow night on Masterpiece Mystery, Wallander series 2, starring Kenneth Branagh, continues with its second episode, The Man Who Smiled. Here's a bit about the story:
Is a cop drama?
ReplyDelete@Juju - Yep, Wallander is a Swedish detective.
ReplyDeleteI do find BBC's version of Wallander funny. A bunch of British actors running around in southern Sweden, playing Swedish characters according to a Swedish novel... speaking English. Maybe it would be less weird if I wasn't Swedish and have actually been to Ystad a few times. (Which ain't pronounced "ishta" btw. The "st" combination only becomes "sht" in German!)
ReplyDeleteI prefer watching Wallander with Krister Henriksson on BBC4 instead. In Swedish, with English subtitles. Much better! :)
@Traxy - I am so glad you chimed in! I have wondered about the Swedish version of Wallander - and how people from Sweden view such a British take on the books. The British/attempt to be Swedish mashup does seem odd at times. I do think this is Branagh's best screen work in ages though. Maybe it's best I don't have anything to compare it to! ;)
