Netflix’s Detective Hole is 2026’s best action thriller

Where to watch Detective Hole on Netflix in Ireland

Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole has landed on the streamer and is already being talked about as its best new action thriller of 2026.

The series, adapted from the work of Norwegian crime novelist Jo Nesbø, holds a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes after its debut season.

Reviewers have compared it favourably to The Night Agent, and with Netflix subscribers always hunting for the next binge, Detective Hole looks well placed to fill the gap for fans of tense, novel-based thrillers steeped in gritty Scandinavian noir.

Detective Hole is streaming now on Netflix in Ireland, so Irish subscribers can dive in without the wait.

If you race through it, it sits neatly alongside other recent picks, from one of the best action movies of 2026 to the kind of title that has topped Netflix's number one chart this year.

With a single season out and strong reviews behind it, the show is a solid bet for a weekend binge, Screen Rant tipped it as one of the platform's best takes on crime fiction to date.
