Helen B @RT67527712 03/11/2023 I loved both seasons - the actor playing Wallander is great. I found it really absorbing. Looking forward to Season 3. See more Darcy G @RT83977999 03/06/2022 I thought Young Wallander (both Seasons shows) were excellent. Very cerebral and excellent character development. The star playing Wallander has a very good presence with a distinct voice that keeps you captivated. Well written and takes you into a dark side of socio-economic profiling. I hope for more from Young Wallander! Definitely worth the watch! See more Shawn C @WickedXian 03/06/2022 Another amazing season of this show. It just keeps getting better. See more 02/28/2022 I love to watch a good crime thriller series and watching season 1 of the young Wallander, I was looking forward to season 2 but wow was I disappointed. The amount of logical errors is too much for me to keep watching season 2. They know where one of the key witnesses of the murder lives and don't bother to a) have a police unit at her house when she comes back b) just open the door and get her into custody I tried to list all the mistakes but thinking about it made me realize that the list is very long... police take 15 minutes to get to the flat of the witness?? just get another police car to the flat.... no..it has to be the one team that works with Wallander and is on the other side of the town. Why does the witness not just run into any!!!! restaurant in town and waits for the police.....how can the murderer suddenly attack her when he was behind her walking the whole time while she was sprinting... The murderer has the phone of the witness in his pocket and doesn't bother to even turn it on mute......then runs away and the police can't catch him with multiple cars at the scene.....instead of chasing the murderer the one police officer asks Wallender if he feels alright after he got a little bit beaten up...... Thats basically one episode..... See more Michael P @RT60312669 02/23/2022 (Spoilers!) In a true letdown from what felt like an auspicious first season, S.2 follows the winding trail of a killer who has marked a pair of now-twenty-something brothers convicted eight years ago of murdering their widely admired swimming instructor. The younger brother (14 yrs. old, at the time), escaped incarceration as a minor, while the older brother has just gained parole; both live under new identities provided by the state, so to protect them from the very vigilante justice that seems to have arrived, nonetheless. The entire affair feels somewhat by the numbers until, by weak sauce twists and turns, we find that the lauded swimming instructor was a pedophile (shocker!), the brothers hadn't actually killed him, and that the current slayer has targeted the brothers to bury the truth and so salvage the reputation of one of his victims, a girl he met in group. The real problem: shotgun holes in the plot and characters so thinly drawn that they elicit no sympathy. You want more from Mona and Kurt, the life-blood of Season 1. Rez suffers now from PTSD, as a result of the riot beating he suffered in S.1, but the writers have filled his depiction with such obvious, ham-handed protocol policing flaws that it borders on eye-rolling. Throw in Rask's random romantic history with the new Chief of Major Crimes, and some ridiculous case linkage to the current Secretary of State (just to bring down a Big Fish), and the whole thing feels slap dash and under-cooked.
