Title: Young Wallander
Review: short six-episode prequel to the popular BBC/Netflix show Wallander with the great Kenneth Branaugh. The casting of this one is good, with Paalson channeling a young Branaugh very well, and capturing his imminent stink – level depression that comes with age. Lots of foreshadowing here. Set in Stockholm, and filled with political intrigue, drugs, gangs, terrorists and the usual mayhem. Would’ t work that well as a standalone, but does a pretty good job of being a prequel. Surprisingly, no subtitles.
