Season 1 Review:
Nesbø realizes the importance of showing all the shading of a character he obviously feels strongly for, and that comes through in the poignant scenes between Harry and his lover’s (Pia Tjelta) son Oleg (Maxime Baune Bochud) who feels a strong connection to Harry. It is those decisions that elevate this series above traditional mystery fare and makes us hope that this team will reunite to adapt more of Nesbø’s addictive novels.

Season 1 Review:
So much plot, so much incident, plus heatwaves, tropical thunder and sweat. As rides go, it’s certainly rollicking. Tracking through grimy urban squalor as well as the beauty of Norwegian landscapes filmed in a golden honey light, it’s a feast for the senses with the smarts of a well-funded action movie.

Season 1 Review:
“Detective Hole” exhibits the genre’s preferences for sadism, sensationalism and crescendoing gore over plausibility. And Hole himself is kind of a drag, a situation that Santelmann (Ragnar the Younger in “The Last Kingdom”) doesn’t do much to alleviate. But the show is conspicuously polished and nice to look at.
