An Event in Autumn is one powerful episode, plenty of changes, including new cast members, a smarter looking Kenneth Branagh, and Magnus has moved on, but the usual dark and gloomy tale. The initial sunshine for Wallander in the form of Vanja (Saskia Reeves) doesn't last long, and all the better for it, where would we be with a smiling, carefree Kurt. The storyline is great one, very dark and bleak, some incredibly scenes, in particular the dog incident, which has to be one of the darkest, most shocking moments on the show. Excellent performances, the regulars are great as always, Donald Sumpter is brilliant, but the show was owned by Con O'Neill, who was just incredible, he really does manage to get under your skin.
One of the best episodes of the show, if I had a criticism it would be they used some awful scenery, Sweden normally looks (and is!) a glorious country, they certainly didn't make it so here.
