A young Wallander begins his career in criminal detection.
I found it a little slow to begin with, but once it gets going, it's a very good series, the stories are very good, it's well produced, and very, very well acted, Adam Pålssonis really great in the title role.
I must address one issue, Young Wallander, the title, makes me think of an origin story, it implies Wallander in his youth, be it The Swedish or English adaptation, instead it's set in present day, with very much present day themes. Is he Wallander in name only? After this first series I'll be honest, that's how I see it, maybe if a further run is made my opinion may well change. The name Wallander will of course attract viewers. How cool would it have been if it were set in the 90's.
It is definitely worth watching, I really would recommend it, if you like me are worried that your favourite Detective shows are ended, or are coming to an end, such as Endeavour and Vera, this offers new life, and a fresh look at one of the best, Wallander.
It's an English made series, set in Sweden, filmed in Lithuania, I can imagine our friends in Sweden are a little surprised.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, 8/10.
