[Netflix] Dept Q (SPOILERS)

[The Soloist]

I'm tired of the broken-up and divorced detective cliché, but the way it's brought up and intertwined with the intrigue works for me. Four episodes in, and we will be watching two more tonight and finish the 9 episodes Friday evening.

I watched the first one and found it interesting enough that I'll watch some more. This weekend is the US Open golf, so more likely next week.

Ep One was excellent
Ep Two I found dreary
Ep Three onwards very good

My wife is a big fan of the books and has talked them up for years. The novels are nordic noir. The show switched the location to Edinburgh for some reason. We’ve watched the first two and she’s mostly onboard.

Up to Ep7.

Excellent series, I binged it a couple of weeks ago.
Have been recommending it to anybody that likes UK crime drama.

 

[The Soloist]

Finished watching it last night. Having 9 episodes instead of the usual 8 allowed for more satisfactory character development. One thread was resolved, but the other was left open. Nice set up for a season two if Netflix gives the go-ahead.

Akam rules. They all rule in the end.

We just finished the last episode. It was a really good resolution. A bit gorier than I like for a detective show, but then most of the Nordic and Tartan Noir stuff might as well be mystery-horror with how gruesome some of it can be. I hope they get another series.

 

[The Soloist]

Spoilers allowed.

I thought this was a great watch. The Scotland transplant from Denmark was odd, especially when they preserved Morck's Danish name! Did appreciate the Scotch sarcasm though...
