Based on the novels of Swedish author Henning Mankell, the BBC series Wallander premiered on November 30, 2008. The series follows the travails of Swedish detective Kurt Wallander and his investigative team. Though dark in tone, there are brief moments of comedy, and no one can doubt the talent of the cast. Wallander airs as seasons of 3 hour and a half long episodes each (which seems typical for British television). Series 3 airs in July of 2012 and the fourth, and final, series has yet to be filmed.
