"Wallander"

I just finished the 3 first episodes of the British Kurt Wallander remake based on the books by Henning Mankell. All 3 episodes had me glued too the TV. I really liked Kenneth Branagh as Kurt Wallander. The show has a sad feel to it, but it fits the character. The visual style is especially good and every little detail matters. It also helps you guessing who the villains are and you end up being just a little ahead of Wallander in solving the murders. Not too much though, sometimes just a few seconds before Wallander realizes.

Overall I give the first 3 episodes a 8/10 and I am looking forward too the next 3 parts being released.
