This series is filmed in Sweden and it is every bit as good as the Wallander episodes starring Kenneth Branagh filmed in Britain. The subjects are somewhat dark but the genre is very good. Some scenes are not for the fainthearted. These Swedish episodes are amazing! I liked the British version but these episodes have something little extra.
Filming was discontinued because the actress Johanna Sällström died. She was battling depression most of her life and after surviving a tsunami in Thailand she was unable to cope. This was a sad occurrence because she was young at the age of 32. She was also in Beneath the Surface 1997. Some say the Swedish version is the better one but I'm still going to continue with Kenneth Branagh's versions as they come out. 5* (I really liked this episode)
