Those principles he learned covering the 2020 election, Palestine, and so much more are brought here to Collider, where he has gleefully written on everything from the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes to Nathan Lane baby-birding sewer boys.

Move over, Bosch, Netflix has a new Harry on the scene. The streaming service just released a new image and official teaser for its upcoming new series, Detective Hole, based on the Harry Hole series of novels by Jo Nesbø. Created and written for the screen by the renowned Norwegian crime author, it follows the titular anti-hero, played by Tobias Santelmann, in a dark and dreary whodunnit that will see him wrestle not just with the grisly details of his latest case and his rival, the corrupt detective Tom Waaler, but also his own demons. The much-anticipated adaptation is set to release on the platform on March 26.

The trailer wastes no time setting up the next great television detective as a complicated man who blurs the boundaries of the law when he goes to work. When asked what it's like working with the great Harry Hole, a colleague confirms he's the best at what he does, but "He's just not that good at everything else," as he punches men in restaurants and alleys and shows up to work with just his ID covering his chest. He's the other side of the coin to Waaler — an intelligent mind committed to stopping a serial killer at all costs, but unable to get out of his own way at times. The two adversaries aren't likely to work together, however. From dark and stormy nights in the streets to glittering concert halls, Harry will be on a desperate search for answers to not only solve his latest case, but bring Waaler to justice before it's too late. He might just need another drink or two to get through it all.
