Enjoyed it a lot..binged watched ..british television is better than American
If this series had to compete on a for profit channel, it wouldn’t have lasted a season. It’s boring, Wallander’s boring and a Scandinavian with a British accent is just too much to accept.
Really hated for the series to end. One of my favorite series.
Really? Sorry to hear it end.
Sorry to see such a great series end.
I’m a big fan of Henning Mankell books and love the Wallander series. Sorry to see it’s ending.
I have read many novels of Henning Mankell and I loved Kurt Wallander. I think that i can not see because here in Portugal they are not available.
Wallander is a very good series were common sense and observation of the human condition makes one intuitive detective.
