Having watched the whole Season 1 almost in succession (however, after Season 2), I am happy to admit that the general impression obtained is good and recommended. In spite of the fact that the plots are not equally even or interesting. Sometimes the criminal is revealed (or can be guessed) too soon/easily, and race with time is not always catchy to follow when you know the guilty person and his or her motives. To some extent, it depends on the topics and the number of twists; to me, for example, secrets from the past are more interesting than plain money lust or modern crime. But the last episode is among the best ones.
I definitely like Swedish Wallander-series more than the British one as it is more ensemble here; in the UK, Kenneth Branagh sticks too much out from his co-actors and his character is more a kind of loner.
