    1. [SWEDEN] Swedish version of Wallander with English subtitles
    2. Bev Anderson
    3. Wallander (2005) - Hulu http://www.hulu.com/wallander-2005 Not the Kurt Wallender character, but one of the characters in this first season of the show is played by Ola Rapace, ex-husband of Noomi Rapace who played Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo & the other movies in the Swedish trilogy.  If you want to know what he looks like to identify which one he is, you'll have to Google his name and check out the images since his picture is not included in his Wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallander_%28Swedish_TV_series%29 I found Wallander on Hulu this morning (in the free section - I don't know if there are more on the paid section or not) - it's only the first season with 13 episodes.  I have no idea if people living in other countries can see the shows because I'm not sure how the international copyright issues work, but this is the Swedish TV version of Wallander with English subtitles.  It's very good! The longer I listen to people speak Swedish, the more I am comprehending.  Obviously, I'll never be fluent, but it's training my ears to pick up the melodic cadence of spoken Swedish and as long as words are enunciated clearly I can understand some of the simple words and names and location names.  In that way it reminds me of the Millennium Trilogy (Girl With.... the full unedited Swedish versions I have on DVDs, not the shorter version for theaters, or the shorter Swedish version I found on Hulu a while back). If you want to train your ears to hear how spoken Swedish sounds, and if you like crime dramas, I can highly recommend this series. Best Wishes, Bev
