Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole
Reviews
-
“Kinnaman is brilliant as the icy, cynical psychopath – who is only out to get his own share of the pie, regardless of the consequences for those around him. He goes from smooth-talking, seemingly jovial to completely rabid lunatic with delightfully playful ease at the snap of a finger. /…/ The interplay between Santelmann and Kinnaman sparkles. ”
-
“I also want to highlight Joel Kinnaman, who takes on one of the leading roles as Harry’s possibly corrupt colleague Tom Waaler. There is never any doubt that he has other priorities than his colleagues, yet he also appears to be a genuinely skilled investigator. The role itself offers considerable depth, and it’s the best I’ve seen Kinnaman in an action production in a very long time.”
-
“Santelmann and Kinnaman own this series together. They are truly outstanding, both individually and as a duo.”
-
“Joel Kinnaman delivers the best role of his career. /…/ Joel Kinnaman plays Tom Waaler and it’s without exaggeration his strongest performance in years. /…/ The dynamic between Santelmann and Kinnaman is the absolute backbone of the show, and it holds for nine episodes without ever slipping. They are two sides of the same coin, something that the show is smart enough to show, not tell. When they share scenes, there’s a tension in the air that is hard to put into words but easy to feel. ”
-
“Kinnaman has never been better than he is here. A truly twisted, slimy and thrillingly complex figure, Waaler is the show’s most interesting asset and the perfect foil for Harry in this first season. Kinnaman goes to some extreme places here, and it’s never anything less than captivating to watch. The battle between these two forces is easily the best aspect of the nine-part series”

“Joel Kinnaman delivers a career-best performance to display Waaler’s chilling pragmatism, making him seem both magnetic and menacing.”
