    The credibility of movie critics has disappeared for me. I have loved all three versions of Wallander and i have really enjoyed Young Wallander thus far. Excellent choice for the lead. Viewing the ratings here from professional critics is astounding. Why the hate??

    Young Wallander. How simplistic are the minds of current writers, producers, and directors like Ben HARRIS that could not create more than a single story, and partial at that, for a year's worth of viewing?
    As is the current custom of mediocre, quick profit-making productions, viewers have been steered to engage again into the trap of a lacking, same story six episodes series with no    Young Wallander. How simplistic are the minds of current writers, producers, and directors like Ben HARRIS that could not create more than a single story, and partial at that, for a year's worth of viewing?
    As is the current custom of mediocre, quick profit-making productions, viewers have been steered to engage again into the trap of a lacking, same story six episodes series with no conclusion and, in obligation, needing continuation in a second season if it is to be produced.
    This third iteration of the Wallander saga is the poorest of all, an insult to its creator, [antisemite] Henning MANKELL.
    As the enticing previous productions did, a one-story per episode offering is too much to ask the entitled, flawed, simplistic creators of today.
    Sadly, good actors, bland production.    … Expand

    There is enough going on in Young Wallander, especially the immigration storyline, that will keep viewers watching. But we just wish Wallander himself was a more interesting character.

    After two hours, there’s not much here to engage, and not much reason to plow ahead. For some diehard viewers, of which I am one, it is difficult to produce a Swedish detective show that doesn’t appeal on some level, and Young Wallander isn’t so mediocre that it can be tossed completely aside. But with an underwhelming leading man, a muddled identity, and a cliched story, it’s ultimately insubstantial.

    Young Wallander ticks off its lead’s familiar attributes in checklist fashion, rarely pausing to offer more developed hints at psychological cause and correlation.
