A flock of swans are burned to death. Shortly thereafter, a young woman is horribly murdered. Linda graduated recently from the police academy and is assigned to Kurt's department. Tensions rise as the two try to find Linda's missing friend. He is sober after years of alcohol abuse, but can Linda trust him? They have to solve the case before more people are harmed.

When a man with long braids and an American Indian-style feather in his hair walks into a bank with what looks like a bomb around his neck, he demands that a precise sum of money be transferred to an account. The bomb is real and his wishes are carried out, but it is obvious that someone is exploiting the man, known in the village as being intellectually handicapped. Kurt Wallander and his colleagues face a long and complicated investigation. The case demands understanding of astrology, something that Kurt and his daughter Linda did not know that they had.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mad foe Ystad, 8 Feb 2010
Bought this set and the rest of the Swedish series 1 direct from Sweden (for considerably less that this seller) after becoming totally hooked after this was shown on BBC4. This is without doubt exceptional television. There are not enough superlatives to use to explain just how good it is save to say that the acting is faultless,the interplay between Wallander and daughter,Wallander and colleagues and Linda Wallander and Stefan Lindman is great and the lack of silly trite stories(a'la Midsummer murders and that ilk) refreshing. You forget the subtitles after a few moments and become hooked by the cleverly crafted storylines. Storylines moreover which do not fail to pull punches covering many taboo subjects. A total joy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent portrayal of the books, 22 May 2010
By 
J. Holmes "Old Hobbs" (Ottawa Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This Wallender series lived right up to its advance publicity and word-of-mouth recommendations. These adaptations of the Mankell novels compare very favourably with respect to their inferior UK counterparts, that seemed to be a vehicle for Branagh to strut his stuff and which left the rest of the cast of Mankell's well described characters largely out of the picture.
I await the next set with enthusiastic anticipation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wonder of Wallander, 16 Oct 2009
By 
Hobo (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
We have some good detective programmes in Britain, but Wallander "knocks the socks off" most of them. It is so well crafted, excellent cast,excellent locations and of course excellent storylines.Wallander likes his drink and his opera, but thats where his similarity to Morse ends.His relationship with his staff and his daughter are very real.In "The Village Idiot" where he sits by his daughters bed in their house, with her childhood posters above the bed, although she is a grown up woman, he looks at her as a father would his young child and says quietly "I'm not going to cry" makes Wallander very human.The series is well worth it, although Branagh's performance was good, these have such a nice quality about them. Violence,humour,edge of the seat storylines it has it all.If you haven't seen Henrickssons performance, you have missed a treat.
