The final episodes of the Swedish series tackle strong subjects, from people trafficking to sex trafficking, drugs, child abuse and the greed of lovers of money. All are covered here. But with such style and superb acting. It is worth checking on the internet for these DVD'S as I bought mine direct from Sweden-brand new sealed packaging for much less that the US sellers here.
For those who have watched the series from episode 1 (see my other reviews) the underlying stories weave their way to the very end. The final episode-'Hemligheten' brings Stefan Lindman's story to a dramatic and searingly sad and upsetting finale--I defy you to watch witout a huge lump in your throat. Pure unadulterated CLASS. So far superior to anything we do in the UK- the closest in class would perhaps be Philip Madoc as Noel Bain in 'Mind to Kill'. If 'Jack Frost' and Tom Barnaby' are your idea of brilliant detectives Wallander is NOT for you...if on the other hand you want something to stimulate your brain...watch and enjoy.
