Mike H @RT89916842 9h 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?

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.

The damaged, alcoholic detective has become a stereotype that gets tiresome pretty quickly. Could have been better with fewer episodes and more action.
