Great stories and writing. I did enjoy every episode but just one aspect had me very disappointed indeed.
I'd never before seen Kenneth Branagh in anything at all. I'd not avoided it, it just didn's happen for some reason. Having said that I knew his reputation for being a superb actor and I just assumed that was the case.
Quite frankly, I was very disappointed indeed. The supporting cast are all superb but to me Branagh really struggles to seem even partly convincing in the role he was trying to achieve. To be perfectly honest, I actually felt embarassed at times, particlularly when he was trying to portray the quite man who stumbles whilst finding his words. It was completely incongruent and just amateur.
I'd just finished watching 'Hinterland' when I started Wallander. Hinterland is seriously much better in almost every respect.
