Annika manages to step up its game in season two, battening down the hatches with fresh, improved scripts. It’s no surprise that Walker’s as effortlessly entertaining a lead as she is.

Are you going to be OK, someone asks? “I mean, that’s a huge question,” she says. It’s really the question we all face every day. With its dreamy theme music and blustery setting, “Annika” finds the bleak, human comedy in that.

A little perfunctoriness in the mysteries can be excused, though, given the overall pleasure to be had from Walker’s performance.

This felt like a TV show still finding its groove. If it does, Annika has all the makings of a Vera-like long-runner if (and it is a big if) an actor as in-demand as Walker is happy to remain on board.

As a whodunit, it is disappointingly pedestrian: clues and suspects and red herrings reveal themselves one by one, but are neatly dealt with in minutes. The show needs to focus less on the clever conceits and more on the plots.
