The second most popular television program on Netflix Worldwide comes directly from Scotland, and it accumulates elegant criticism, making it one of the best shows in Netflix. DEPT. Q Besides each of the five stars she obtains, because it is an absolute explosion.
DEPT. Q Until now, has spent two weeks in the Top Ten of Netflix for Global TV, with 8.9 million views and 73,400,000 hours – so almost all those who start watching it continue to look at it.
At first glance, the show is only another cop drama. You know the type: Cop Maverick fighting against demons, a woman in danger in the hands of a sinister silhouette. But it is much more than that, that’s why I was roughly inspired each episode.

What is so great in the department Q
The program is based on Danish detective stories by Jussi Adler-Olsen, but the action was moved to Edinburgh in Scotland. Matthew Goode plays the detective Carl Morck, and it is clear that man is an unbearable ass which is rightly hated by many of his colleagues, even after surviving a deadly event. This event has terrible consequences for his friend and partner, played by the always brilliant Jamie Sives, and it is clear that Monck is increasingly weighed by the guilt of this.
Monck is investigating in cold cases and obtains a team of compatriots: the former Syrian police officer Akram Salim (Alexjev Manvelov), a charming man with many secrets and the well -intentioned but traumatized pink (Leah Byrne). Together, they focus on a single case: the disappearance of the lawyer Merritt Linguard (Chloe Pirie).
The following is an extremely tense race against time to find and save Merritt, intertwined with the interpersonal dramas of Monck, his team and his family life. It is often very funny, especially in the reception pieces, and the script is whipped and shaving everywhere. And the cast is brilliant, with great performances throughout and the very welcome appearances of Mark Bonnar, Kelly Macdonald and Sanjeev Kholi.
Without giving spoilers, I need to warn you that central disappearance is full of voyeurism: I am not a big fan of seeing women (or someone else) undergoing terrible treatment and I think that in a few cases where the camera has persisted a little too long on the way the spectacle Idris Elba Show. Luther sometimes did. But maybe I’m easily upset.
If, like me, you are a Scottish, there is also a pleasure in having a blow: why does everyone in Edinburgh have a Glasgow accent? Do they not know that the ad is far from this piece of city? Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives must appear in everything (not that I complain)? And it is interesting to compare what you can do with a Netflix budget compared to the much more modest means of the own Scotland diffusers: I am often excited by the arrival of a new local drama to be deeply disappointed. While I loved it.
DEPT Q Currently, 84% on the rotten tomatoes of criticism and 94% of viewers. It is now available on Netflix.
