Mone C @Mone77 3h I found the series too drawn out. 9 episodes were too excessive. 6 or 7 episodes would have been much better. The mystery and its development towards resolution are quite interesting, but it only really starts to grab the viewer's attention from episode 5 onwards. I also really liked the cast. Joel Kinnaman is phenomenal as the villain. See more Hans Olav H @hohygen 16h Harry Hole, which is based on Jo Nesbøs famous books, is a Nordic noir version of Oslo, with emphasis on the noir. The image og Oslo is a desperate dark town, not really matching the daily reality of Oslo. The series has, in its gory, violent style, many good qualities. There are multiple interconnected storylines and mysteries to be solved. The acting is sometimes brilliant. The one part missing is that there are quite a few loose ends that are just left as is when you get to the end, and some highly improbable actions of the characters. Overall: Well vorth watching See more Mo P. @Mopal 1d What a frustrating disappointment. Big Joel Kinnaman fan here but the writing of this show was such a hot mess that even he couldn’t overcome it. The story and scenes were all over the place. Too bad. See more F R @FR2021 1d A little gory at times, but very watchable and engrossing. Hope it is renewed. See more Mike H @RT89916842 1d I have pulled myself, grumbling and somewhat angry, to the last (i’m hoping) episode of the pilot season of "Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole" on Netflix. I went in with great expectations but a continued series of disappointments equalling those of the title character have left me, errr… how can I say this best? Disappointed. The characters are trite and predictable, the acting just so-so, and the writing… certainly not as good as what I find in the Jo Nesbo ‘Harry Hole’ books. Which is confusing because Jo Nesbo is credited as the series screenwriter. Class assignment: Watch the first ten minutes of the Netflix series and compare it against the opening ten minutes of the Universal picture "The Snowman" (2017). Jo Nesbo was also credited as a screenwriter on that one. Tell me which story grabs your initial interest the most and why? See more DiZzY2k T @RT71603295 1d I loved Nesbös books and the series is a very good representation of what I already found amazing about his writing. The story is dark, gritty, interesting and takes a lot of turns that you would never expect beforehand. The characters are written and acted out very well. One thing I didnt like was, that the story kind of has two main plots, which made it a bit tricky for me to get into the series and it took me 3-4 episodes. Also, I think the name of the series could have been chosen a bit better. "Detective Hole" doesnt really sound interesting at all and doesnt give any information. See more Read all reviews
