I have to agree with "bpotte's" review from 2012. Wallander is the dumbest cop in Europe. Hopefully he is the dumbest cop in the world or we America is in danger of extinction. I have only watched one episode, but it is mind boggling that anyone could be so self absorbed as to endanger the entire population of Sweeden by your active incompetence. By the end of the first season he will need to move and ravage a new country as there will be no-one left alive in Sweeden. But if the show is at all accurate, getting killed in Sweeden should be considered mercy killing. What a depressingly sterile country. The only reason for their relatively average suicide rate is the apathy the must engulf the entire population.
The program is well acted. I am a great fan of Brannah. Despite these positives, i can't bear to watch another episode. It would be like watching an NBA game because you had faith that all the officials in the league could not be incompetent. The again, I am a Cubs fan so maybe I will convince myself that the next episode is the one where he brilliantly catches the killer after only a handful of deaths.
