Is anyone watching the current Wallander episodes on PBS' Masterpiece Mystery on Sunday nights?

The presenter of the program mentioned how gloomy, crusty and pale Wallander is, and wondered aloud just what it is that attracts so many people to watch this show. I can't help wondering that myself, and even though I was tempted *not* to tune in, I find myself a viewer after all. It stars Kenneth Branagh, who's perfect for the part.

I guess part of the appeal is that the storylines are good. I wonder if it's actually filmed in Sweden. Does anyone know? I remember episodes from last year that I found quite depressing, and though last Sunday's was certainly serious, I didn't come away depressed.

Well, I just wondered if anyone else is watching, and how you might be reacting to the show.
