Dept. Q

 

Set in Scotland and therefore classified as "tartan" noir. Dept. Q sees DCI Morck and his team shot while investigating a murder scene. Flash forward 4 months and the PTSD riddled detective is put in charge of a new cold case program and takes up the 4 yr. old case of a missing prosecutor. With a mostly UK production team, it should come as no surprise this is extremely well done and engaging the entire way. Dept. Q is well written and well acted with many familiar UK character actors making appearances and It's filled with the kind of character/story touches that separate average fair from the sublime and it's hard to imagine coming away from this disappointed. Don't hesitate.
