Detective Carl Morck has few friends at work in the Edinburgh police force in a gritty eight-part investigation based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's series of books. When he is involved in a fatal shooting that costs a young officer his life, superiors consign Morck to the basement to head up a newly created task force, Department Q, to prevent any further damage to the force's reputation. Morck's team are charged with reviewing cold cases - a thankless task with a statistically low chance of success. This band of misfits includes self-doubting rookie Rose and Akram Salim. When Morck's relentless pursuit of the truth unearths new leads into the unsolved disappearance of a prominent civil servant several years ago, he seizes a second chance at professional glory aided by police therapist Dr Rachel Irving
Matthew Goode is another troubled, abrasive sleuth for crime fans to pore over in a plush new series from writer/director Scott Frank, who previously brought us Godless and The Queens Gambit. This one isnt quite as distinctive as those two, since its a UK-set crime drama thats basically Slow Horses for homicide detectives.
Goode plays Carl Morck, a brilliant investigator with PTSD and some seriously lacking interpersonal skills, leading a motley crew of outcasts whose Edinburgh office is in a dank basement and who take on cold cases nobody else wants.
