Dept. Q: Series 1 (2025) 2-Disc Set Blu-ray – British Crime Thriller Netflix Original

Adapted from Jussi Adler-Olsen’s best-selling novels, Dept. Q stars Matthew Goode as DCI Carl Mørck, a brilliant but difficult detective sidelined to a basement cold case unit in Edinburgh after a botched raid. Intended to be a dead-end assignment to keep him out of trouble, the department instead becomes a hive of activity as Mørck and his unconventional team—including his astute assistant Hafez el-Assad (Alexej Manvelov) and the sharp-witted Rose (Leah Byrne)—begin to uncover shocking connections between old unsolved crimes and the city’s corrupt elite.

Created by Scott Frank (The Queen’s Gambit), this atmospheric noir series blends dark humor with intense suspense. The Blu-ray edition captures the moody cinematography of Scotland in crisp high definition. Viewers can dive deep into the investigation with the complete first series, watching the team race against time to solve cases the system had long forgotten. Includes optional English subtitles and behind-the-scenes looks at adapting the beloved Nordic Noir books for a British setting.
