Graeme Blundell The Australian Apr 20, 2026
The direction of both Karlsen and Zackrisson is impeccable, finely tuned to both the melodrama and the gothic sensibility of Nesbo’s writing. Go to Full Review Laura Miller Slate Apr 16, 2026
I did find myself laughing out loud at a couple of points during the finale of Detective Hole, but that was more at the show than with it, so rushed and preposterous is its denouement. Go to Full Review John Powers NPR Apr 14, 2026
Based on the fifth Harry Hole book, The Devil's Star, it's a bit drawn out, but it gets right what The Snowman got wrong. Go to Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL May 15, 2026
It offers the satisfying fiction that, however random the violence of the world can seem, there’s a baroque conspiracy behind everything, if only we can unmask the evildoers. Go to Full Review Juan Carlos Galindo El Pais (Spain) Apr 13, 2026
The series is well-edited and photographed, has the pacing required for this type of production, and features music by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis...which lends personality and quality to a very well-chosen soundtrack. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Luann H @LuannH Sep 2, 2026 It's extremely well made, casting, acting, sets, narrative etc etc. Subtitled, so if you don't like subtitles you won't enjoy. See more Roseann B @branch626 Aug 27, 2026 Brutal and gory in parts but nevertheless a brilliant series. Hope they do more. See more Paul R @RT57068866 Aug 20, 2026 Great Show plenty of twists look forward to season 2 See more Alisa C @RT32059046 Aug 16, 2026 Ridiculous. Watched the whole thing hoping it will get better at one point but it was getting only worse. Highly do not recommend! See more Marion K @Marion789 Aug 5, 2026 Nesbo has a very chequered line of outings but this is really good stuff. Yes, it gets a bit hokey with certain obvious choices to the writer's heritage, as opposed the subject, but overall it kicks arse. Deffo a subs watch. See more Whitney S @RT569043311561 Aug 4, 2026 Decent thriller this, some minor silliness and found some of the plot a bit 😳 but overall enjoyable See more Read all reviews
