From Cold (Case) to Hot
Dept. Q is a television adaptation of a Danish Nordic noir crime novel series written by Jussi Adler-Olsen. However, this English language version moves the setting to Edinburgh, Scotland.
It follows Carl Morck, a good cop with the reputation of not playing well with others. After a tragic incident on the job, he is exiled to a single man unit housed in the basement of the station. Though he initially goes it alone investigating cold cases, he gains a team underneath him through circumstance. Together they gain a lead in an old missing person’s case and Morck goes back to what he does best: police work and rattling the cages of his superiors.
The entire first season of Dept. Q releases Thursday, May 29, on Netflix.
