Wallander gets dementia at the end. No thanks! Why would you sabotage a good show like that! Isn't the world full of enough sorrow already? That's like having a dog in the show and shooting it! If I wanted to be depressed, I could watch a horror movie. It is not entertaining to watch the hero get dementia!

There are weaknesses in this. The brooding detective comes off as dangerously incompetent and it almost gets his daughter killed. But it is well shot. Better than well, in fact.

The stories in each episode are very creative, and the main character is someone you can really like even though he's dark and brooding. The pace is slow, but the show is a hour and a half long, so it's more like a movie.
