Wallander Series 1-3 (DVD)
Join Detective Kurt Wallander as he explores the dark underbelly of a seemingly innocuous Swedish town while trying to find peace in his increasingly tortured personal life.
World weary cop Wallander hopes for a fresh start in the seemingly peaceful town of Ystad nestled in the countryside of Southern Sweden. Alas, the discovery of a young woman's remains in his garden sees Wallander struggling against a rising tide of crime, angst and violence that threatens to engulf his life.
In a role that has seen him garner award after award, Kenneth Branagh plays the dogged Swedish cop in a series renowned for its complex, plot-driven mysteries and its three-dimensional characters.
