Wallander

Based on the books by Henning Mankell, this version was created by and stars Kenneth Branagh (Murder on the Orient Express) as the brooding, existential detective Kurt Wallander. With its dark and hauntingly beautiful cinematography, the series is often hard to watch as Wallander and his team solve terrifying murders in and around Skane, Sweden. I prefer the original Swedish series Henning Mankell’s Wallander better. Dishy Tom Hiddleston stars in the first six episodes as Wallander’s right hand man, Magnus Martinsson.
