Wallander (2008) - Season 1

Description
The gritty crime drama stars Kenneth Branagh as Swedish author Henning Mankell's scruffy Swedish police detective Kurt Wallander. Season 1 finds him tackling a series of engrossing mysteries. First, he investigates a 15-year-old girl's self-immolation and a series of ax murders; then, he tackles the murder of a cabbie by two teens and the death of a computer-systems analyst; and, last, he looks into the Midsummer Eve's disappearance of three young people. At the same time, he deals with his aging dad (David Warner), who's slipping into the grips of dementia, and a re-energized social life, as his daughter Linda (Jeany Spark) enrolls him in an Internet dating service.

The strength of the script and Branagh's finely drawn performance - not to mention the excellent scenes between Branagh and David Warner, who plays Wallander's dad - make up for missteps.

It's the main character who provides the main reason for watching, as the long-suffering Wallander struggles to solve the crimes and put his life back in order.

As wonderfully played by Kenneth Branagh, Wallander is a fine addition to the tradition of PBS' Mystery!

Mr. Branagh dominates the screen, but there are some excellent, low-key performances by supporting actors who play Wallander's colleagues.

What makes Wallander memorable in the end is the arc that underlies them -- the detective's own story as he plummets toward emotional and physical crisis.
