Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: "The Revenge" is well-made, above-average TV, but it seems small for the big screen. The plot is a bit predictable, and we're still getting to know the characters when the story ends.
Fresh: "The Revenge" is a smooth-enough entertainment that should appeal to Wallander completists and aficionados of the cresting wave of Scandinavian crime stories.
Rotten: On the whole this is a routine mystery tale existing mainly to introduce new characters to the Wallander universe and allow for future installments.
Fresh: An old-fashioned, taut, well-crafted thriller-complete with several wonderful twists.
Customer Reviews
Outstanding
We love this series, so well constructed, excellent acting, well written, visually engaging. Even the minor characters are compelling. Superb.
Great Series
I'm watching the series in order and so far this is my favorite.
We get to go inside a Swedish courtroom, and an extremist church.
