Staying In
Watch Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole
If you love Nordic Noir classics like The Bridge and The Killing, we’ve got another binge-worthy show to add to your watchlist: Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole. Dropping on Netflix today, the series is adapted from the bestselling Harry Hole book series written by the eponymous Norwegian writer Jo Nesbø – one of the most prolific crime novelists of our time. An adaptation of Nesbø’s fifth book The Devil’s Star, the series follows brilliant but tormented Oslo homicide detective Harry Hole (Tobias Santelmann) on his hunt for a serial killer. At the same time, Harry is on a mission to prove that fellow detective Tom Waaler (Joel Kinnaman) – who is also put on the case – is actually corrupt and involved in serious crimes. The series becomes both a whodunnit and a moral battle between the two officers: think Line of Duty crossed with Luther. Can Harry succeed in both finding the murderer and bringing his nemesis to justice? Out now, Netflix

Get In Line For Agora
It’s no secret that Brits love a queue. But queueing for your supper feels like a totally different matter. The strange phenomenon of lining up in hopes of securing a hot table has been well-documented by newspapers, but it can rarely feel worth it. The one exception to make? Agora, the casual answer to its fine-dining sister restaurant, OMA. While OMA bagged itself a Michelin star, souvla bar Agora sports a Bib Gourmand, and, last year, TopJaw named it among the most ‘outrageous value’ menus in London. C&TH reported from the queue, which stretched a mean 90 minutes on a grey March Thursday – was it worth the hype? We think so – a dinner for two tallies to roughly £100 – but only if you're willing to sacrifice a hungry portion of your evening.

Whatever You Do, Don’t
Spring clean before decluttering, says homemaking influencer Charlie Gray. ‘I tell people to step outside of their home and walk back in with fresh eyes: properly look and think, that needs to be sorted out. Make sure that everything’s sorted and organised, and then you can start cleaning – there’s no point cleaning around the clutter. Start at the top and work your way down.’
