Wallander (English)

Wallander comes in two basic versions, the Swedish original series and the joint production of the BBC and the original production company in English.  The BBC series stars Kenneth Branagh.  Most of the actors are English but the filming is done in Sweden and they act as if they are Swedish and follow Swedish customs and traditions.  The episodes are very well done and the acting is exceptional.

Branagh plays a more emotional version of Kurt Wallander than what is found in the Swedish version but carries it quite well.  I found myself re-watching the series and still enjoying it all over again.  I am a big fan of international movies and TV shows that are well made and well acted and this is one of the best.
