I love the Wallander Books as well as both the Swedish & BBC television versions...up to this point. 'The White Lioness' is probably my favorite of all the Wallander books. So I was anxiously awaiting last nights Wallander on Masterpiece.
I was extremely disappointed with the end product. Branagh was as solid as ever, but he didn't have much to work with.
The screen adaptation was a shell of the great novel. Not the least bit suspenseful i can understand a perceived need to make it contemporary, not centering it on the possible assassination attempt to either de Klerk or Mandela......but it was so dumbed-down. Such a shame.
I hope another writer and production company like Yellow Bird take this story on and do it justice.
