Netflix’s ‘Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole’ Debuts With Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score

If you’re looking for a new crime thriller to watch, check out Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole on Netflix. All nine episodes of the series, based on Jo Nesbø’s popular Harry Hole novel The Devil’s Star, became available on March 26th and have received excellent reviews, earning a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. This positive reception could lead to more seasons.

Netflix calls Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole a suspenseful Nordic thriller. Tobias Santelmann stars as Harry Hole, a gifted but troubled detective, while Joel Kinnaman plays Tom Waaler, his cunning and corrupt rival. The story follows these two as they pursue a serial killer through the dark streets of Oslo, creating a gripping and intense rivalry, as outlined in the official plot summary.

From the mind of bestselling crime novelist Jo Nesbø comes a gripping mystery centered around the brilliant but troubled detective Harry Hole. The series follows Harry as he investigates a serial killer while battling his own personal struggles. Beyond the thrilling hunt, the show delves into a complex relationship between Harry and his rival, the corrupt detective Tom Waaler, exploring the gray areas of law enforcement. As the first season unfolds, Harry races against time to catch the killer and expose Tom’s wrongdoing, but success isn’t guaranteed.

As of today, Detective Hole, the latest from Jo Nesbo, has a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics are calling it a thrilling and exciting ride. While this score could change as more reviews come in – it’s currently based on only seven reviews – early viewers seem to overwhelmingly agree it’s a high-quality mystery. This is a major improvement for the series, especially considering the 2017 film adaptation, The Snowman (starring Michael Fassbender), received a very low 7% rating on the same site.
