LatestHis memory is going to pieces and he is no longer officially on duty, but Wallander draws on all his resources to find Linda’s missing father-in-law, a former top official in the Swedish navy, obsessed with a decades-old submarine mystery. Slowly losing his grip on reality, Wallander is desperate to solve this one last case.
This drama follows Inspector Kurt Wallander – a middle-aged everyman – as he struggles against a rising tide of violence in the apparently sleepy backwaters in and around Ystad in Skane, southern Sweden. Based on the international best-selling books by Henning Mankell.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Branagh bought the rights himself after reading the books on holiday — no studio wanted this much sadness.
Mankell created Wallander partly to examine how Sweden's welfare state mythology crumbled in the 1990s — the crimes are symptoms, not the disease.

I love how there are even more comments about the fact that it's Kina Grannis' cover of Sound of Silence here, rather than about the actual programme xD She's so awesome though, so it's understandable :')

Detective Kirt Wallander is such a different type of detective it makes this worth seeing. I little quirky and certainly not your typical strong police detective (which makes him seem real) but still you like him and the story draws you in. Filmed in Sweden the cinematography is beautiful. If you like slow detailed murder mysteries you will like this.
