Because I'm not asleep yet.
So, Tom Hiddleston doesn't get terribly much to do in Wallander, which largely follows Kenneth Branagh being incredibly glum and not taking very good care of himself while people all around him get horribly murdered, BUT. Magnus Martinsson is pretty much the light of my life when he's onscreen. He has two modes: pissy and WHOA, COMPETENT, WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN. Most of the time he's pissy. But he's a very pretty pissy. Observe:
Give it this: it is a very pretty show. And just -- that is not a shape human bodies are supposed to make outside of Aubrey Beardsley engravings, okay?
So yes, meet Magnus Martinsson.
Magnus Martinsson and his glorious blond curls.
He knows computers! Or he does in this episode. What's really important, though, is this:
HE'S A TREE. (He's also wearing a gun here!)
To be fair, apparently everyone in Sweden creates light/blurry halos around them at any given point in time.
Oh face. What is that face.
Also, one notices certain things when one's first familiarity with an actor is through another role.
For instance, check out those arms.
Kudos on all the muscle for Thor, darling.
Secret Fassbender, y/y?
No really, we are hair twins. If nothing else, if I ever meet him, we will have words about our hilarious hair.
(Frankly, I just wanted to demonstrate how much Branagh is drinking the hell out of that water bottle. Even Hiddlesticks is in awe.)
Apparently he is the only one who will ever get the phone at the station. SIGH.
I am sorry to say I still don't know this woman's name after three episodes, but she is super great, because she's both awesome and completely adorable.
Sparkle effect! Er, wait.
TO THE RESCUE.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
TREE.
TREE TREE NORSE GOD TREEEEEEEE.
So yes, there's that.
