Blog2013 ≫ The Tunnel

Very interested in the new international crime drama TV series1 The Tunnel that is being made, an anglo-french remake of the excellent Danish / Swedish series, the king of all the scando-crime dramas The Bridge (but should I call it swedo-danish or scando-danish or dano-swedish or something?). But, now I come to tell Clare about it, it sounds like a wind-up doesn't it? I hope it's real. I love crime drama for one, and I have loved all scandinavian crime drama I have seen so far, and I have loved all French crime drama I have seen so far (ok, only Spiral). A multiligual French / English version of a Swedish / Danish crime drama sounds like my dream come true. If only we hadn't already seen it...

Reading that article1 in full after posting this, the american remake of The Killing looked rubbish to me, but all series of Wallander and The Bridge has possibly been my favourite of "that type" of series so far so this bodes well.

Haven't there been at least two different Swedish Wallanders so far? It is the Scandoquivalent of Rebus in that respect, more than one very well respected version.

Time for bed now.
