Topic: Dept. Q

https://next-episode.net/dept-q

https://static.next-episode.net/tv-shows-images/huge/dept-q.jpg

Department Q centres around Carl, a former top-rated detective in Edinburgh assigned to a new cold case whilst wracked with guilt following an attack that left his partner paralysed and another policeman dead.

This is a great show.
Funny in parts, serious in others.

I am currently on episode 5 and binging it.
5/5 from me

Re: Dept. Q

2 Episodes in so far and can't agree more. Great story, great characters and funny as well.

This is the right way to write a supposedly unlikable character likable.

Shows that deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Company You Keep | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

Re: Dept. Q

Heavy accent would require me to use subtitles. big_smile

Trailer isn't bad, but doesn't resonate enough with me...

Re: Dept. Q

I have now binged all 9 episodes and it's one of the best shows I have seen for a while

Great story, great characters.  It could go on for quite a few seasons if Netflix don't fuck it up

Why change the habit of a lifetime...

Yeah, I loved it too. Sorta wonder if Merritt would return in S2 (if it gets made) as an extension to the team

Re: Dept. Q

I have just finished the last episode what an excellent series, one I really enjoyed. Hopefully there will be a second series and the cast remains the same.
