Working Title are probably best known for movie rom-coms like “Bridget Jones” and “Notting Hill” but their latest project – “Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole” – is sure to astound audiences as they swap big knickers and Chardonnay for semi-automatic weapons and increasingly wild screen deaths.

Based on Nesbø’s crime novel series about an obsessive but flawed detective named Harry Hole (pronounced Hoo-ley), with Nesbø adapting the books himself, the 9-episode series is not only a highly-polished yet gritty local language Norwegian drama but delivers plenty of bombshells as Hole (played by Tobias Santelmann) and his team try to track down a serial killer stalking Oslo’s streets while at the same time dodging corrupt officers inside his own force.
