Featured review
The Troubled Man
The fourth series of Wallander has not been the best vintage. The opening episode set in South Africa was a bit off and too out of the ordinary. This series has a whole has never crackled and the stories were a little bit too slow to justify the longer running time. We have hardly seen Kurt's colleagues which were already decimated in the previous series.
Kenneth Branagh continues as the stoical Kurt for the final time. His actions affected by the early-onset of Alzheimer's he agrees to help when his daughter's father in law, Hakan goes missing.
The previous episode laid the foundations as the father in law told Kurt of an incident in the 1980s where he was an officer in the Swedish Navy and an incident with a Soviet submarine entering Swedish waters and the government did little about it which he felt was treasonous.
As the mystery unfolds there are conflicting loyalties. Kurt suspects his son in law, Hakan's wife is found dead, an old American friend of Hakan turns up and Kurt thinks Hakan himself might have staged his disappearance. All this in a background of Kurt struggling with his forgetfulness and moments of incoherence.
This episode ends with a coda of an old acquaintance of Kurt making an appearance which rounds the series off. Kurt in some ways ends up like his father at the end.
The Wallander books have finished and the final episode was dedicated to the author Henning Mankell who died 2015. I think this was the right time to stop as the show was on the verge of a decline.
