Overview
- The nine-episode series lands on Netflix globally Thursday, March 26, with all episodes available to binge.
- Season 1 adapts The Devil’s Star and also draws on The Redbreast and Nemesis from Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole novels.
- Tobias Santelmann plays detective Harry Hole, who hunts a serial killer in Oslo while clashing with corrupt cop Tom Waaler played by Joel Kinnaman.
- Nesbø serves as showrunner and wrote the scripts, with Øystein Karlsen and Anna Zackrisson directing and a moody score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.
- Early reviews commend the lead performances and atmosphere but warn of a slow pace and graphic violence, with several outlets judging it a clear step up from 2017’s The Snowman.
