What is Dept. Q starring Matthew Goode about?
As seen in the trailer, it's clear that Goode's character DCI Carl Morck is as confident as they come. Though that attitude does mean that he doesn't have many friends and co-workers who actually like him. Though I have a feeling he might like it that way. Will that change with Akram and Rose who seem to be working with him in the newly formed department at the station, Dept. Q? These detectives are on the case!
When the Scottish government believes the police station needs a better image to hide the fact it's an "under-resourced, failing police force," from the public, their idea is to turn to cold cases and create this new department with Morck at the head of it, per the synopsis. He's also the only person running it, though like I said. I have a feeling a couple of more people will want to join him and help out.
Their first case? A "prominent civil servant" who disappeared without a trace years ago. Though now they may have a chance of finding them by Carl doing what he does best - "rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer." In case all of this wasn't enough, it's also clear that he's dealing with guilt and trauma following a shooting that left an officer dead and his partner unable to walk. Will he be able to get through his personal struggles while solving the cold case? We'll find out in just a few hours!
