Netflix's Dept. Q, premiering May 29, stars Matthew Goode as Detective Carl Morck, tasked with managing cold cases from a basement office. Adapted from Jussi Adler-Olsen's novels, the series relocates the story from Copenhagen to Edinburgh, which enhances the gothic atmosphere. Morck’s first case involves the mysterious disappearance of politician Merete Lynggaard, who has faced severe trials during her captivity for five years. As Morck delves deeper with his assistant Assad, shocking revelations unravel connections to Merete's past, echoing the series' dark and disturbing themes.
Edinburgh is smaller than Copenhagen, but both are big port cities. [With its] gothic architecture, and it being the judicial center of Scotland, it's just a really lovely fit.
After narrowly surviving an attack that killed one colleague and severely injured another, Detective Carl Morck is tasked with overseeing cold cases that call for "special scrutiny."
Merete has been held captive by a man, Lasse, and his mother and brother - and they have a haunting connection to her past.
