How many Swedish Wallander series are there?
As all three seasons of ‘Wallander’ return to SBS On Demand, we ask: What makes it the best Nordic Noir of all time? It’s rare that a genre gets it right the first time.
What illness does Wallander have?
The plots now give him no way back: in this final series of six films – he has made more than 30 – Wallander has been struggling with early-onset Alzheimer’s. That’s perhaps made it easier to leave him behind, reflects Henriksson.
Is Wallander based on a true story?
Kurt Wallander (Swedish pronunciation: [vaˈlǎnːdɛr]) is a fictional Swedish police inspector created by Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell (1948 – 2015).
Is Wallander worth watching?
This series is absolutely superb, as much as I did like the English series, this series(in Swedish) is much better, it is better plotted and has a more consistent tone. Wallander is often described as the “Swedish Morse”, seeing this it is not hard to see why.
Which version of Wallander is best?
H. L. L. There is only one perfect Wallander series: Sweden’s “Henning Mankell’s Wallander starring Krister Henriksson.” It is one of the best series ever made for television in any country. In contrast this first version, starring Rolf Lassgard, should be missed.
Are there two versions of Wallander?
Kenneth Branagh’s Wallander is back on BBC1 – fingers-crossed, a review later today, although I keep saying things like that and they never materialise. Just to be very confusing, he’s the third actor to play Kurt Wallander. There have been two previous versions of Wallander made in Sweden.
Why does everyone in Wallander have an English accent?
In that show, the creators made the choice to keep the original Ystad setting (and filmed most of the show in Ystad itself, sometimes overlapping with the ongoing Swedish series), but wisely let all the actors use their normal British accents.
