The TelegraphAnita Singh Mar 26, 2026
Season 1 Review: The characterisation from Kinnaman and Santelmann is top notch, and the scenes between them are the best thing here, but there is a problem with the drama’s narrative flow. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergMar 25, 2026
Season 1 Review: If the storytelling were tighter and more successfully focused on its more sociologically provocative elements, Detective Hole could have settled into the overstuffed genre’s top tier rather than taking a place in the acceptable middle. Read full review

The New York TimesMike HaleMar 25, 2026
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.

Radio TimesJames HibbsMar 20, 2026
Season 1 Review: The twists and turns are frequent, yet impressively the narrative is always relatively easy to follow and grab a hold of. .... The pacing often drags and beats repeat themselves. Read full review
