Young Wallander (serial)

Based on the Swedish cop character made famous in the English version by Kenneth Branagh, this version is set in the current time, but follows Wallander in his rookie year as a cop. He lives in a bad part of town, and is drawn into a nationally important homicide. Still Swedish in its feel, but sometimes it feels put on (how can I be dark and brooding, etc.). Nice short season that wraps everything up, but not necessarily with a bow on.
