Norwegian detective series now available on Netflix
A brilliant but troubled detective, Harry Hole, hunts a serial killer while battling a corrupt adversary, Tom Waaler, as they navigate ethical gray areas, with Harry determined to bring the criminal to justice.
Note that this is specifically Jo Nesbo’s Detective Hole, not William Shakespeare’s. It’s pretty similar, except without the flowery monologues.
Well, that, and the fact that it’s in Norwegian. Shakespeare rarely wrote in Norwegian, except for his famous Scandinavian Sonnet, which begins:
Skal jeg si du er lik en sild?
Du har mer ynde og mer deilig
Og du er mye mindre slimete
In English:
Shall I compare thee to a herring?
Thou art more graceful and more delicious
And thou art also not as slimy

The only nudity is provided by dead people – in four different episodes. I always point out that Europeans love autopsies. Apparently that derives from to the fact that they love corpses in general.
Agnes Born in episode 2
Agnes Born in episode 5
Dagny Norvoll Sandvik in episodes 8 and 9
