Thanks! I think you sum up the Wallander-character very well. I especially liked how you describe his family and his relation to them.
I haven't seen Branagh-Wallander myself, but I adore Rolf Lassgård's Wallander (the Swedish TV-rights are sold to two different companies, so there's a series where Krister Henriksson plays Wallander too. But he's too stiff and formal in my eyes. Lassgård has that genuine human side to him, his Wallander has a history, can be hurt and is at times reckless because of his past, not in spite of it. Ahem. Getting carried away here.)
And as with the Branagh-Wallander, the scenery is often beautiful, even the tragic and bloody ones. And the music is hauntingly beautiful. Like in "Pojken i glaskulan." It puts me in Noir-mood like nothing else.
ETA: Added tags. Tell me if you want it tagged differently. :)
