Netflix has renewed the crime series 'Dept. Q' for a second season, featuring Matthew Goode as detective Carl Morck, set in Edinburgh and based on Jussi Adler-Olsen’s novels. The first season was well-received, and production will continue in Edinburgh with the same creative team.
Ginny and Georgia season 3 has taken the top spot on Netflix's top 10 list, replacing Sirens, which has fallen to #3. The new season of Tires and the series Dept. Q are also performing well, with the latter showing strong critical and audience scores, indicating potential renewals. Sirens, a five-episode miniseries, stayed at #1 longer than expected, and there is speculation about a possible second season.
The new Netflix series 'Dept Q' starring Matthew Goode briefly disappeared from the platform 19 hours after its premiere, causing frustration among viewers, but it later reappeared. The series follows detective Carl Morck as he investigates cold cases in Edinburgh.
Netflix's series Dept. Q, based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's novels and created by Scott Frank, is visually stunning and well-acted but suffers from a preposterous and implausible plot, especially in its central mystery involving prolonged captivity and revenge.
Netflix's 'Dept Q' is a dark, intense crime series based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's books, featuring a troubled detective, Carl Morck, played by Matthew Goode, who investigates cold cases while confronting personal trauma. The series intertwines his story with that of prosecutor Merritt Lingard, creating a psychologically complex and suspenseful narrative that explores the emotional toll of crime-solving. Despite some overlong moments, it offers a riveting, neo-noir mystery with compelling characters and twists.
