PBS Masterpiece Theater This Fall Presents

PBS Masterpiece features a literary and mystery theme this autumn, beginning October 3 with a new season of Wallander, adapted from the fiction by Henning Mankell. Deadline.com reported that "British critics have found series too relentlessly gloomy, although they couldn’t find much to criticize in the acting, stories or production design. The Sunday Times called it 'close to perfect' while the Telegraph called this new miniseries 'top-notch.' " On October 23, BBC’s modern-day retelling of Sherlock Holmes begins and will be aired for three consecutive weeks. Framed, which was adapted by Frank Cottrell-Boyce from his novel,premieres November 14 as a feature-length drama starring Trevor Eve. Flooding at the National Gallery forces the curator (Eve) to return the entire collection to the disused quarry in North Wales where the paintings had been stored during the Second World War.
