Hakan Nesser's Van Vetteren Collection

[Naomi, the Sanity Check]

Has anyone seen this? It looks like there are 3 seasons of it. Like "The Killing" it isn't available in the US.

I have seen... not sure but I think two seasons of them. They are watchable but not as good as the Wallanders. Somehow being set in an anonymous European country doesn't please me.

[Naomi, the Sanity Check]

Huh?? See, it is funny..I prefer the VanVetteren books to the Wallender books..it would be interesting to see if I preferred the movies. Was it a tv show or was it like the Masterpiece mysteries?

[Fizzycola]

For us it has been a tv series of movies (still going on.)

[Naomi, the Sanity Check]

So, it really can't be based off the books then..since there were 5(?) HN books

[Fizzycola]

Oh no, there are 10 of the Van Veeteren books!

[Naomi, the Sanity Check]

Oh, that is right..they all haven't been translated into English and released in the US yet

[Anna, the Enabler]

I haven't seen the series. What language do they speak in it? I'd think the language would have to match the gibberish location and people names... But I guess I'd give an episode or two a try if I found them in some tv channel we have or in netflix streaming.

I just finished Borkmann's Point as a book, and I wasn't thrilled by the Dutch-Sweden-ish-gibberish location (my rants of it).

I saw Borkmann's Point a few months ago. It was in Swedish if I remember right (I know it had subtitles) It was okay, not the best movie but not the worst either. MHZ here in the States has had a few of the movies this year but I just watched the one.
