TV GUIDE: Matt's Guide to Weekend TV: Wallander, Dinosaurs on Doctor Who, and More
Sep 7, 2012
by Matt Roush
In the tradition of all great detectives, Swedish bundle-of-brooding Kurt Wallander can't escape crime no matter where he goes — and that includes the country home he is just moving into with his lady love as the first of three new Wallander movies kicks off a third season on Masterpiece Mystery! (Sunday, PBS, check tvguide.com listings). As played with explosively simmering edge by Kenneth Branagh, Wallander barks, "You think this is fate?" at his walking-on-eggshells paramour (Saskia Reeves), who shoots back, "Don't be so miserable."
But that wouldn't be Wallander, would it? And as he looks into the origin of the years-old corpse buried under his new home's bushes, the investigation dovetails into a more current mystery: the presumed suicide of a young pregnant Polish passenger on a local ferry. "There's no such thing as a coincidence," Wallander concludes along the way, but not before his impulsive snooping leads to catastrophe among his police ranks. No one delivers a self-flagellation quite like this angst-ridden Scandinavian. Will his career survive? Will his relationship? "I am who I am because of what I do," he self-analyses. We agree, and while we empathize, that's why we keep watching...
