“Underneath the surface, this series is a nuanced character drama about two police officers – and supposed colleagues – operating on opposite sides of the law. Throughout the first season, Harry goes head-to-head with his long-time adversary and corrupt detective Tom Waaler.
“Harry is a brilliant but tormented homicide detective who struggles with his demons. As the two navigate the blurred ethical lines of the criminal justice system, Harry must do all he can to catch a serial killer and bring Waaler to justice before it is too late.”

The mystery, which was directed by Tomas Alfredson, saw the detective attempt to track down a serial killer in Oslo, with the perpetrator’s signature move involving the presence of snowmen at the crime scene.
Detective Hole airs on Netflix in 2026.
