“Fully hooked!”: Netflix police drama said to have ‘outdone the BBC’ jumps straight into UK chart

I can’t help but feel thrilled that I recently dived into the world of Netflix’s gripping crime drama, “Department Q.” It seems like everyone’s talking about it since its debut, and it’s quickly climbing the streaming ranks!

As a devoted admirer, I’m eagerly anticipating the nine-part series adapted from Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen’s novels, where I find myself in the role of Matthew Goode, breathing life into DCI Carl Morck. After a harrowing event, I return to work and am assigned the challenging task of establishing a cold case unit.

Initially, the disenchanted police officer finds solace in idle days, yet his innate detective intuition resurfaces, leading him to attract an eclectic group of rebels and rule-breakers within his freshly assigned department. This summary further indicates.

Yesterday’s debut of “Dept. Q” on Netflix has already earned its spot among viewers, climbing up to third place in their top 10 TV chart.

presently, it resides among the true-crime documentary series “Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders” and the latest dark comedy of Julianne Moore titled “Sirens.

People seem to be quite taken with the latest series, expressing their delight by commenting about how much fun they’re having with it, on an official Netflix Instagram post.

One enthusiastic viewer expressed, “I’ve just finished binge-watching and, although it’s not typically my style to share such opinions on social media, I urge you to order at least five more seasons.” They also commented that Dept Q might surpass the BBC in terms of engaging police dramas.

The first person stated, “I’m on episode seven, and I can’t get enough!” The second chimed in, expressing, “It’s so captivating that I binge-watched all the episodes at once.

The show has garnered favorable reviews from critics, securing an impressive rating of 86% based on 22 critiques on Rotten Tomatoes as I’m typing this.

In our review for Dept. Q on Digital Spy, we characterized it as an engaging viewing experience, boasting a superb ensemble cast who have brought a captivating narrative, brimming with untapped promise, to vivid reality.
