swedish Wallander (tv series)

[colleysmill]

Saw a trailer late last night saying this is back for series 3 on bbc4 in a few weeks.

I nearly did a little dance round the house May have to cut back on Saturday night to concentrate on the subtitles ......

Back on the 17th I think.
I did squeal with excitement when I saw the advert!

Brilliant.

Which Swedish one? There were two different ones.

Eeeee!

I don't know if the link will work (on my phone).
It's the one with Krister Henriksson.

Oh, that's absolutely brilliant. I thought he was the best Wallander. I see they have replaced Linda.

oh goodie

Oooh I don't know how I feel about a new Linda, such a tragic story about the original actress who played her.

But I love this show, I only initially watched it because the paper which we took at the time raved about it.

The books are good too.

I love the books too. I'm not sure about a new Linda, still brings a tear to my eye when I think about the start of the second series and the look on Wallander's face when asked about children.

From what I've read on the internet Mankell was involved in writing episodes specifically for the tv series and he and Henriksson were deeply affected by Johanna Sallstrom' s death ( at one point I think they both said that series 2 would never happen)

I can't imagine what she went through :( awful just awful

Very, very excited and I love the books too Desire. Currently reading one of his non-Wallander books.

Ohh I can't wait! Krister Henriksson is my favourite Wallander. You've just made my day coleysmill

I have set the recorder. I can't wait.

I've just nearly peed my pants in excitement at this news

at dotty. Have you got a plan for Saturday? Can I suggest no fluids after 6pm, a big wee just before 9pm and Tena at the ready?

Brilliant news, I thought this was just a repeat of the earlier episodes.
Wallander is what got me into scandi dramas but it has to be Krister not that
Rolf Lassgard.

So a few episodes in and whilst it's still as fantastic as the previous series I'm feeling a bit :( as its hitting a bit close to home

How's everyone else finding it?

Finding it very sad ... he's too young to be experiencing that (although I know it happens).

I got something in my eye at the end of today's.

It's rather excellent, isn't it?

The one where he looked at the back of his wardrobe at the photos

Loving it as well, but had a tear as well as the episode ended.

I was in tears at the end of the latest episode too.
I can't belive next Saturday's will be the last. I've enjoyed these more than the second series.

Yes the series with the two new cops, wasn't that the second one?

I didn't really like that.

Were they just "made for tv"?

It's terribly sad & so well done.

Feel so awful for all of them.

It was my intro to Scandi drama so will always be a bit special. Finding this final season really good but oh so sad.

It's so fab that I can't see why Kenneth Branagh bothered himself to make it.

I suppose for those who won't read subtitles?

But his version was (imo) ludicrous.

I'm finding this series excellent as usual but profoundly depressing. Fantastic performance from Wallander actor, understated and poignant.
