Like Beck, Wallander is a great Swedish series of movies. Right now there's 13 movies. Out of the 13 I think I've seen like 9 or 10. All the movies I've seen are really good. Henning Mankell is has written the books about Wallander and even though the movies doesn't follow his story lines they are true to the characters from the books.
You follow Kurt Wallander (Krister Henriksson), a police in Ystad in the southern Sweden. Wallander, his daughter Linda (Johanna Sällström, Stefan Lindman (Ola Rapace) and the rest of their tight group in Ystad solves their cases one by one. Wallander isn't thrilled about his daughter working as a policeman, but accepts the fact that she won't change her mind. Linda and Stefan are partners, and soon that evolves into something deeper, but can you really work together and have a relationship without loosing your objectivity? This series of movies comes highly recommended from my part. The series is well written and has a great cast.
If you like Beck you will surely like Wallander!
With the death of Johanna Sällström (she committed suicide due to depression early this year, R.I.P) I fear that the series won't be the same, if they even decide to continue on. But for now I'll catch the series on TV and see Johanna in all her glory, because she was a great actress.
