Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News 12h
3.5/4
Based on Nesbø’s fifth Hole novel, “The Devil’s Star,” this labyrinthic mystery swarms with red herrings and feeds on false starts and that more than holds your interest. Go to Full Review Amber Dowling Globe and Mail 18h
Beware that the nine-episode offering can be slightly graphic at times and drags during some scenes, but overall the chemistry between the leads makes it a compelling enough binge during a gloomy weekend. Go to Full Review Ben Dowell The Times (UK) 3d
4/5
So much plot, so much incident, plus heatwaves, tropical thunder and sweat. As rides go, it’s certainly rollicking. Go to Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media 2d
3/5
There's plenty of fun stuff here for fans of Norwegian mystery series, but Nesbø needs to work a lot harder to stand out against the myriad other detective shows. Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk 2d
4/5
Throw in some diabolical plot twists that you couldn’t have seen coming, and it all makes for horribly addictive viewing. The icing on the cake is the way the bad guys suffer satisfyingly hideous come-uppances. Go to Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine 2d
6/10
For those familiar with Nesbø's work, the series functions as a return of the character; for everyone else, it simply becomes another piece in a Scandinavian crime drama... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ann L @AnnLof 7h Eight hours of alcoholic angst is just too much. See more greg M @RT39486994 7h Increasingly preposterous with every episode. See more Roman R @Roman450 14h I loved every episode. Gripping storyline and great cliffhangers. Joel K can do no wrong in my eyes. Another season would be amazing. See more John P @RT45238385 1d This is a must watch. Ignore the version dubbed in English, watch the Norwegian version with subtitles. Perfect Scandinoir. See more Annie C @RT96093565 1d Incredible show, acting by Joel Kinnaman and Tobias was top tier, highly recommend! Don’t miss it if you love scandi-noirs. See more Bastien H @RT16857240 1d I couldn't even finish the first episode, the acting was so bad and the plot is really boring See more Read all reviews
