Implausible plot, fractured storyline, indiscriminate use of foul language in less-than-believable dialogue. Ryan has obviously exhausted his talent! Very Poor.

Nick Polchak is one of those characters that grow on you. The interesting facts that are woven into the story on forensic entomology are quite fascinating. A darned good read.

A pathetically boring attempt at comedy, where the use of expletives substitutes for intelligent script-writing.
Disappointing.

Graham Ison's experience as a copper show through in the details of his books. He brings an interesting perspective on today's politically correct policing and his asides are good indication of his opinions (with which I concur as an Old Time Copper)

Aftermath captures the atmosphere of Robinson's book perfectly. Casting is excellent and the performances first class. Having enjoyed the books I look forward to seeing the two series that have been made. They will be a great addition to the library.

One of the few "cop" shows that satisfies an old cop for its authenticity. The portrayal of cops and criminals is so realistic that they become real people. The politicians and upper police brass are revealed as conniving scoundrels feathering their own nests - so true!

This novel, written by a local author, is a two-session read! Fast paced, with well-developed characters, it contains a wealth of technical detail that is understandable and woven well into the plot. Though the end is complete in itself, there is no doubt that a sequel is indicated. I look forward to reading it.This novel, written by a local author, is a two-session read!

Absolute rubbish and a waste of time to watch. I made it through almost one episode before I decided that I had better things to do with my time. A failed attempt at re-creating the original which, at the time, was very popular.

I found the filming to be very "Scandinavian," dark, moody and very well photographed. The series could have been reduced to make it more compelling. The middle sagged and the actors seemed to be coasting. I will watch the second series if only to see more of the excellent lighting and use of the rain as a metaphor for Seattle.I found the filming to be very "Scandinavian," dark, moody and very well photographed.

Typical of the low key approach to crime drama that the Swedes do so well. The lack of "excitement" that pervades American tv series allows the viewer to become involved in the characters. Kenneth Branagh "lives" Wallander and does a great job, as always.Typical of the low key approach to crime drama that the Swedes do so well.

Disappointing. I watched two episodes and returned it. The comedy is ham-handed and slapstick and the show is definitely not worthy of the subtle comedy acting that Jason is capable of.

This is a "couldn't put down book." Written in 2009, it is even more accurate of today's situation in UK. A damned good read!!
