The Beeb does it again, excellent, can't-stop-watching productions. We made the mistake of getting these before the first episodes, and we are now watching the first dvd, but it makes little difference really, you can figure it out. The episodes, and the crimes, and Wallander's brilliance are all great. If anything, this second series was a little more subtle (read "less violent") and developed Wallander's character and family circumstances over the greater focus on the crimes in the first series, but they are both very well done. If anything the Swedish context makes a nice change from the UK focus in other series, and gives a different cultural slant which is nice to see. If you like the BBC stuff and crime mysteries, get this series you will enjoy it.
