Sunday has suddenly become a rare bright spot in my TV-watching schedule. Not only do Law & Order: Criminal Intent and In Plain Sight now show back-to-back on the USA Network (beginning at 9 p.m. ET/PT), but tonight PBS’ Masterpiece Mystery! series presents the first of three feature-length episodes of Wallander, starring Kenneth Branagh and based on the best-selling police procedurals by Swedish author Henning Mankell.
According to Mystery Book News, “The premiere episode, ‘Sidetracked,’ in which a young woman’s suicide may be connected to a series of grisly murders, is scheduled to air Sunday, May 10th. The second episode, “Firewall,” in which Wallander faces a gripping countdown to a looming disaster, is scheduled to air May 17th. And the final episode, “One Step Behind,” in which three teens are killed in the woods--and the murders have only just begun, is scheduled for May 31st.” (On the strength of these first installments, three more episodes have already been ordered.)
My biggest quandary for the next three Sundays: which shows do I tape, and which do I watch as they are broadcast?
