Dept. Q introduces Edinburgh detective Carl Morck, returning to work after a shooting incident that showcases his abrasive nature and complicated relationships. The series, based on Jussi Adler-Olsen's novels, highlights Morck alongside prosecutor Merritt Lingard, both characterized by their difficult personas. Although the intertwining narratives of justice and personal demons hold potential for rich storytelling, the focus on Morck limits the exploration of Lingard's character. With strong performances, especially from Matthew Goode, the series aims for longevity through its engaging, if flawed, characters in the crime drama genre.
The intertwining of abrasive personalities in a flawed criminal justice system provides depth, but it limits the narrative's exploration of all characters' perspectives.
Matthew Goode's portrayal of Carl Morck captures a self-protective arrogance and complexity, setting him apart in the crowded detective genre.
