Police thriller set in Scotland, essentially an English language remake of a Danish show. 9 episodes.

Can't wait for season 2.

Agreed, but I needed subtitles.

Dammit, thanks for the reminder. I started in on it and forgot about it.

Now I have something to watch and it won't be a huge time investment.

I loved working in England with someone from Glasgow. I watched all their faces, and I knew they had little idea what the Glasweigan said either.

It's about the only thing worth watching on it right now. I just came back to Netflix this month to get me to football season and I'm annoyed how mediocre everything is with Dept. Q being the exception.

Dept Q & Untamed were the two Netflix shows I've enjoyed recently

Untamed felt like a Lifetime Original to me but Dept Q is legit.

I said the same thing about the waterfront. All these series on Netflix feel like lifetime series.

Finished it last night and enjoyed it. Subtitles are a must Anybody else feel like his Syrian partner is going to unleash some John Wick type shite on someone next season.

I really enjoyed it and actually gasped in the first (or second?) episode when the narrative timeline became clear. I love British crime dramas and all the accents.

I don't think it needed to be nine+ hours. It lost steam toward the end and felt overly drawn-out.

I assume next season will focus on solving the opening crime?

No, although there is a token gay cop in a couple of episodes.

The woman playing the prosecutor is very good (and looks good naked).

The lead is a drama queen but Akram kicks arse and makes this worth watching.
