Wallander investigates two crimes, the first sees a man die by a cash point, apparently of a heart attack, the second case sees a taxi driver brutally stabbed to death by an eighteen year old girl who freely admits to killing him.
I would say this is the best of the British made episodes of Wallander, it stands out for so many reasons. Firstly a story that could have been a bit common place is brought to life with such energy and vigour, the episode is well paced, full of tension, a real sense of urgency and threat are created. Wallander, normally quite emotionless is given a new dimension by the introduction of Ella, brilliantly performed by the gorgeous Orla Brady.
The location looks fantastic, really adding to the darker tone of the episode, it feels bleak. Beautifully produced as always, a point also for destroying his phone, saving us from that annoying ringtone.
Best of the bunch. 8/10
