Love this show, anyone else watching?

Is this a brand new one? I remember watching it years ago and enjoying it

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 22/05/2016 21:09

New ones, though not sure if they aren't remakes of the Swedish ones shown on BBC4.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 22/05/2016 21:12

New and Ken is so watchable.

I just persuaded DH to watch this as we are both big Scandi crime drama fans.
As much as I enjoy watching Kenneth Brannagh, I'm finding it a bit slow compared to The Killing or The Bridge. And as he was being held at gunpoint in his hotel room all I could think was Sarah Lund would NEVER find herself in this position ...he's supposed to be a detective FFSHmmHmm

Signing in here.
Love Wallander, and Kenny !
Great to have a change of scene.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 22/05/2016 22:01

Not sure about tonight's.

Travelledtheworld · 22/05/2016 22:03

Yes it is a bit slow but it helps build the tension.
And I love Kens bleached blonde hair.

Travelledtheworld · 22/05/2016 22:15

In the Swedish version, doesn't he retire because he has Alzheimers or a drinking problem or something ?

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 22/05/2016 22:18

Alzheimers.

Davros · 22/05/2016 22:19

Sounds upbeat!

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 22/05/2016 22:24

Well, it's Swedish.

bakeoffcake · 22/05/2016 22:29

I've never watched before and found it incredibly slow. I switched off after half an hour.

Did it get any better?

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 22/05/2016 22:30

Sorry, didn't like today's episode.

Davros · 22/05/2016 22:33

I love KB and I think he's going grey, not bleached. It is a bit strange - Swedish story/programme adapted into English, set in South Africa. I am enjoying it (on delay)

NoahVale · 22/05/2016 22:38

I love Kenneth Brannagh, this was ace, well, ok, but enjoyable

Travelledtheworld · 22/05/2016 23:21

Well I couldn't figure out his hair. It was definitely grey at the back but it looked blonde at the front to me [deep analysis of her drama, here].
Nice filming though, those big dusty landscapes.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 23/05/2016 07:20

We enjoyed it although I agree about the slowness, my eyes were closing at points.

Hope it's back in Sweden next week.

DH couldnt stay up to see the end, quite glad it was one story, rather than a continuation

SalmonMaki · 23/05/2016 08:18

Recorded last night, will be watching today. I loved the previous KB Wallander series.

Don't suppose Hiddleston is in this series?

Cunties · 23/05/2016 16:55

It was okay but not thrilling. I'll give it a go next week but if it's still a bit slow then bye bye Ken

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 24/05/2016 18:15

Ken's on the radio!, God I love him and his voice Grin

Any idea where I can watch last weeks episode?

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 25/05/2016 11:27

It was on I player. I watched it and I still don't really know what happened!

fussychica · 25/05/2016 14:16

Not the best episode but enjoyable nonetheless. Love KB but actually prefer the Swedish version of this series.

diddl · 26/05/2016 16:11

Ken? Ken?

Krister Henriksson is Wallander!

And I've just read that he's going to be in the 3rd series of The Fall!
