Dept. Q

Dept. Q

Returning to the Edinburgh police after surviving a shooting, detective Carl Morck reluctantly takes a new assignment: re-investigate cold cases. He takes up the search for a homicide prosecutor who four years earlier disappeared from a ferry while traveling with her non-verbal brother. With the help of other misfit investigators, Morck digs into Merritt Lingard’s family, her enemies, her connections to a muckraking journalist and the powerful man she tried for murder. But the questions remain: is she alive, and if so, where would she be?

Matthew Goode and Chloe Pirrie star in “Dept. Q” from Netflix. The nine episode series follows Morck’s cold case investigation, his complicated home life, and the emotional fallout from his own shooting. Can this damaged detective locate the victim…and find himself in the process?

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "DEPT. Q" BEGIN IN THE FINAL EIGHT MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
