Dept. Q (2025)
Dept. Q, premiered on Netflix May 29, 2025, is a riveting British crime series adapted from Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Danish novels. Matthew Goode delivers a phenomenal performance as Carl Morck, a brilliant but abrasive detective haunted by a shooting that left his partner paralyzed and a colleague dead. Exiled to a basement to lead the new Department Q, a cold-case unit, Morck builds a team of misfits, including Alexej Manvelov’s sharp Akram and Leah Byrne’s determined Rose, to crack the case of a missing prosecutor.
Set in Edinburgh’s gothic underbelly, the show blends Nordic noir with sharp British wit. Scott Frank’s taut writing and moody visuals create a tense, immersive vibe, with Goode’s sardonic edge stealing every scene. The nine-episode arc, while occasionally slow, keeps you hooked with clever twists and rich character interplay.
Dept. Q is a must-watch for fans of dark, character-driven mysteries. Its stellar cast and gripping story make it a standout. Binge this thrilling gem now.Related movies:
