Great news for fans of Slow Horses! Netflix is bringing a fresh crime drama centered on a group of unconventional officers. Department Q, adapted from Jussi Adler-Olsen’s bestselling novels, stars Matthew Goode as the troubled detective Carl Mørck and Kelly Macdonald as police therapist Rachel Irving. With The Queen’s Gambit co-creator Scott Frank at the helm, the series aims to remain faithful to Adler-Olsen’s original storyline—at least for its debut season.
If you’re eager to dive deeper into Department Q, here’s a complete rundown of everything we’ve uncovered about this gripping thriller series.
What is the purpose of “Department Q”?
Netflix describes Department Q as the story of Carl Mørck (played by Matthew Goode), a once highly respected detective in Edinburgh whose career takes a dark turn after a tragic workplace incident leaves one colleague dead and another paralyzed.
Assigned to lead a cold-case unit—initially more of a PR move than a real investigative team—Mørck is weighed down by guilt and content to fade into the background. However, as his detective instincts resurface, the department evolves into an unexpected refuge for misfits within the police force, proving that the past still has plenty of secrets to reveal.
