DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.

I found this show to have me glued to my set, ep after ep. I hope there'll be a Season 2
very well done show. really good.
and those "lost cases" hopefully provide material for many more seasons!
Loved the show, loved the pace of the series, both how we learned more about the people and how the main case unfolded to its conclusion, the liberal use of "fuck" in everything, the Scottishness of it all .
Netflix better make a second season fast, come on, off you go
