neutral · AI labelView post →“Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole” should not be a Netflix series, it should be a dive bar frequented by cops and crime writers
neutral · AI labelView post →Sickened by how many people think it's funny that Netflix has a show called Detective Hole
neutral · AI labelView post →The actor who plays Ed Baldwin in “For All Mankind,” Joel Kinnaman, also costars in a Norwegian noir series called “Detective Hole” based on Jo Nesbø's novels. It is streaming on Netflix. I highly recommend it. (It’s in Norwegian with subtitles.)
positive · AI labelView post →I’m sorry I lived long enough for there to be a show called Detective Hole that isn’t just a background gag in Tracy Jordan’s dressing room.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hypothetical Norwegian Crime Fiction Fan: "Oh, I see where you went wrong. It's a famous series of books. The protagonist is Detective Hole." Me: "His name is Hole?" HNCFF: "Harry Hole, yes." Me: HNCFF: "Anything else?" Me: "...no."
neutral · AI labelView post →Netflix's "Detective Hole" is VERY much an Amazon show, except that the Amazon version would be called "Hole," which would mislead fans of "Outer Range." My review, with a reminder that "Harry Hole" is pronounced "HAR-ee WHO-leh":
neutral · AI labelView post →"It's for my new show, Detective Hole. I play Lazarus Hole, a detective who specializes in glory-hole crimes."
neutral · AI labelView post →“I can’t take a show called Detective Hole seriously,” I thought. Then I looked up the proper pronunciation. Now I think, “I can’t take a show called Detective HOO-Leh seriously.”
neutral · AI labelView post →“Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole is an upcoming Norwegian crime drama streaming television series, an adaptation of Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole novels, specifically the fifth instalment The Devil's Star.” HARRY HOLE 👀
neutral · AI labelView post →#BestSongHeardToday #MusicSky #MusicChallenge The only time I listen to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds is when their songs come on a show. I have several albums on CD, but never listen to them. From Detective Hole, which I just discovered is a thing: "Avalanche" www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFsm...

neutral · AI labelView post →Detective Hole lmao I swear I’m telling the truth it’s a real show!
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve just blitzed Detective Hole on Netflix and it’s fucking brilliant!!. A Norwegian crime thriller that’s got everything: based on a series of books with a soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, great characters, huge twists, and Joel Kinnaman as an utter cunt. Highly recommend
positive · AI labelView post →One of the few uplifting elements of Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole series is that Ramones songs are treated as folk music that brings comfort to the troubled souls of young and old alike.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished Detective Hole on Netflix, loved it just as expected. My fave detective, fave book series, and done by Scandinavians - just fantastic. Harry Hole casting spot on (unlike Hollywood movie version which I refuse to watch).
positive · AI labelView post →I hate when Norwegian filmmakers try and make Oslo look a lot more tough than it is. Just watching the new ‘Detective Hole’ tv series. There are no tent cities in Oslo. 🙄 They also showed a lot more graffiti than exists and rats, etc. This happens a lot in certain types of Norwegian shows.
negative · AI labelView post →I love the Jo Nesbo Harry Hole books. Love. Them. Netflix now has a series, Detective Hole. But it's Norwegian (which is understandable, Nesbo is Norwegian); I just have the hardest time with dubbing. I always have subtitles on, so hopefully that will help
positive · AI labelView post → The Pitt S2. The show is top notch and just gets better and better.  Paradise S2. This season is a lot better than the first season, though the show does have is warts and blunders at times. I am pretty sure the finale is this week.  “Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole”…
neutral · AI labelView post →my god they've made a Harry Hole series and just called it DETECTIVE HOLE and also do they think everyone just knows its not pronounced like the English word "hole"? MISTER POLICEMAN WE GAVE YOU ALL THE CLUES
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Scandi Noir, Jo Nesbo's 'Detective Hole'. And giggling like a schoolboy at the random thought that the follow up series would have to be cancelled when he got a promotion, and they realised it would be 'Inspector Hole'. Yes, I know. I'm supposed to be a grown-up.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just found that Detective Hole show on Netflix, I will watch anything scandanavian crime drama, also, I will watch anything with Joel Kinnaman, so best of both worlds
positive · AI labelView post →Ok Netflix you can't call a show Detective Hole come on
neutral · AI labelView post →If you want a new series to watch, Detective Hole on Netflix is superb! #whattowatch
positive · AI labelView post →Can’t stop laughing at the title of this new show on Netflix called “Detective Hole”
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Detective Hole. I've read a Hole book, The Bat, so I now know his modus operandi. Mess up badly at work. Have a close friend die. Go on a bender. Beat someone up/get beat up. Have a promising relationship collapse. Finally, you're ready to solve the crime! www.netflix.com/title/81610327
neutral · AI labelView post →Although I’m enjoying the show quite a bit, my inner 12 year old always snort laughs when I suggest watching “Joe Nesbø’s Detective Hole” to the missus.
positive · AI labelView post →I’m watching a Netflix show called “Detective Hole”.. you make the jokes
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the DETECTIVE HOLE series on Netflix, and I can't get over how perfectly they cast the main character. Tobias Santelmann is exactly how I imagined Harry Hole from the books.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm liking this Detective Hole show, but its got some sick shit I haven't even seen in horror movies. Good news: My nostalgia for water beds has been cured. 🫠
positive · AI labelView post →starting a series called Detective Hole and praying they don't pronounce it the proper Norwegian way

neutral · AI labelView post →"…in the highly anticipated new series Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole (Norwegian title: Jo Nesbø's Harry Hole)" I can see why they changed the title but it's still a shame.
neutral · AI labelView post →There’s A New Show On Netflix Called “Detective Hole” 😮💨 It’s Based On One Of My Favorite Book Series By Joe Nesbo. Definitely Worth A Watch And A Read! I’m Only On Episode 1 But It’s Already Good.

neutral · AI labelView post →“Detective Hole” (2026) is a limited series about an alcoholic detective who tries to catch a serial killer who he suspects to be a colleague. Story is good and full of twists but some characters are over the top, the filters are annoying and music often too loud and out of tune with movie. 🇳🇴 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
neutral · AI labelView post →saw a tv show named "Detective Hole" that sounds like a porno
neutral · AI labelView post →David Eugene Edwards has two songs featured in the new Netflix series “Detective Hole”. The series score is by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. Hear ‘Brimstone Rock’ by 16 Horsepower in Ep. 1 David Eugene Edwards new album Mercurial Silence arrives May 22nd on Sargent House.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just a public service message: The TV show ‘Detective Hole’, even with a character named Harry Hole, is not gay anime porn. You’re Welcome :P
neutral · AI labelView post →I'll say it again, "Jo Nesbo's Detective Hole" sounds like a panel show about crime procedurals that lasted for about a season on Dave.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you want to see a good Scandinavian noir crime show that features every living Norwegian actor, and most Swedish actors, I highly recommend Detective Hole on Netflix

neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished the Norwegian mystery series "Detective Hole" based on Nesbo's "The Devil's Star". FANTASTIC adaptation (Nesbo is showrunner) with a stellar performance by Tobias Santelmann as Hole, and a frighteningly intense Joel Kinnaman as Waaler. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched Detective Hole, would highly recommend. Very bad cop but good detective.

neutral · AI labelView post →Finally started Detective Hole, a few episodes in and hooked. Fantastic Nick Cave curated soundtrack too! Right off 16 Horsepower - Brimstone Rock, later Wovenhand - Ain't No Sunshine. Just a great show so far
positive · AI labelView post →…he speaks so much Swedish, because in real life Joel speaks Swedish and not Norwegian. The show is named Detective Hole and it’s the best David Fincher work not made by David Fincher.
