Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Swedish author Henning Mankell's Nordic Noir series of crime novels follow Kurt Wallander, a middle-aged, diabetic inspector who is often up against both criminals and his own demons. In the novels Mankell explores social and political issues affecting modern-day Sweden, as well as providing the reader with plenty of mystery and suspense.The novels became the basis of several film and TV adaptations: a Swedish televised film series for SVT starring Rolf Lassgård as the titular character, a Swedish television series for TV4 starring Krister Henriksson, and most recently an English-language adaptation starring Kenneth Branagh. All three have now concluded their runs.The English adaptation is unusual in its use of Translation Convention. Filmed in Ystad, the Swedish setting of the novels, it renders all spoken dialogue into English (complete with idioms like "done time"), but keeps all on-screen written text in Swedish (with the exception of the screen of Wallander's phone on occasions).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In 2020, Netflix released Young Wallander, a prequel of Wallander on what happens to him after he graduates from the Swedish National Police Academy and is in on the first few days of job as a uniformed officer. | |

Actor Allusion | |
Wallander / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: In one of the Swedish episodes, Wallander is talking to the coroner Karin Linder about the possibility that the victim may have drunk himself to death, and gives her a sly look as he refers to death by alcohol poisoning as "Finnish suicide". Stina Ekblad, who plays Karin, is a Swedish-speaking Finn. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
Wallander / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: Wallander's father — named Henning in the novels — is named Povel in the BBC series An interesting case with the same character in the Lassgård films: Wallander's father is still named Henning (as in the novels) in his first appearances in Faceless Killers, The Dogs of Riga, and The White Lioness (as played by Ernst Günther), but when he turns up again in The Fifth Woman (as played by Keve Hjelm), his name is briefly mentioned to be "Karl." | |
