“The Troubled Man” - His memory is going to pieces and he is no longer officially on duty, but Wallander draws on all his resources to find Linda’s missing father-in-law, a former top official in the Swedish navy, obsessed with a decades-old submarine mystery. Convinced that something is not right with his brain, Wallander sees a doctor. In his private life, he bonds with Linda’s father-in-law, a retired naval officer, who gets a menacing birthday greeting. “A Lesson in Love” - A woman’s knife-slashed corpse leads Wallander on a chase for the victim’s missing daughter, inciting him to a grievous oversight. Alarmingly, the South African sun - or something else - is leaving Wallander with blackouts and dizzy spells. “The White Lioness” - In South Africa for a police conference, Wallander gets involved in the hunt for a missing Swedish woman and traces her last appearance to a clandestine shooting range, where someone has been practicing for a crime that will jolt the nation. Wallander: The Final Season: Kenneth Branagh at PBS presentation during Winter 2016 TCA on 19 January 2016 – Photo by Rahoul Ghose/PBS The poignant end game unfolds in three thrilling cases. In Wallander: The Final Season, Wallander keeps burning his candle at both ends, dodging knives, bullets, vicious dogs, homicidal motorcyclists, and a sense that he is losing his focus. And Downton Abbey fans will recognize new cast member Harry Hadden-Paton (Edith’s gentleman friend in Season 6), who plays Linda’s workaholic husband, Hans. Introduced last season and back for this final one is Ingeborga Dapkunaite ( Occupied) as Baiba Liepa, a beautiful Latvian musician and police widow, who teamed up with Wallander in Riga to escape a death squad run by one of her late husband’s colleagues. Returning with Branagh in the The Final Season are longtime ensemble members Jeany Spark ( Da Vinci’s Demons) as Wallander’s daughter, Linda, now married and a mum, who brings a ray of light to her detective dad, a doting grandfather and Richard McCabe ( Indian Summers) as the gloomy but good-hearted forensic pathologist, Sven Nyberg.
Branagh’s portrayal of this terrifying struggle is a heartbreaking performance. Now, as Wallander starts to lose his memory, his greatest fear is that he is succumbing to the same disease that felled his father: Alzheimer’s. Dealing with northern Europe’s most violent and deranged criminals, Wallander also battles personal demons and appalling health habits, which led him to be diagnosed with diabetes.
