Dept. Q

But I have to agree with others who say that it dragged a bit in places. The terrific acting by most of the cast, especially Matthew Goode, Alexej Manvelov and Leah Byrne, sustained my interest in the series. It also had an exciting, satisfying conclusion, which actually raised my score from a 7 to an 8. But could it have been done just as well in 4 or 5 episodes? Yeah, for sure.

This was not a 10-star series in my mind, but everyone has their own opinion and it's hard to argue with them. But when comparing it with some of the great detective movies and shows, "Dept. Q" is far from perfect. It is very entertaining, with spots of dry, black humor, and the characters are endearing enough to root for.

I look forward to a second season, which it is sure to get, and hope they can mix in a bit quicker pace and a plot that evolves more dynamically. "Dept. Q" has a lot going for it and crime drama fans are sure to enjoy it...they might even think it ranks with the all-time greats.

The best crime/drama series I have seen in a long time. The intriguing story line was written into a great screenplay and supported by an excellent cast and camera work. Well directed!

The characters were maybe a bit stereotypical in the beginning, but they slowly developed. This was best noticeable within the core police team, where both the characters and the team helped each other grow. They all brought something to the team, and they each also got something back in return.

The ending was powerful! The plot resolved without stupid Hollywood heroics or shootouts, and the last 5-10 minutes were beautifully done.

Can't wait for season 2! Bring it on!!

This is a dark piece of work. The lead nails the despondant, self hating yet brilliant detective. The rest of the cast have been cast brilliantly and the roles acted brilliantly. The story onfolds with just the right amount of flashbacks and character development. All, and I do mean all, is dirty, gritty and believable. This series is a credit to everyone involved in writing,acting and producing. I am left questioning how I approach my own life, my actions and misgivings. It was layered and thought provoking. I am.only on episode 6 so I imagine there is more goodness and darkness in store for me. I will attempt to add to this review in due course.

I can't stop watching it and I'm hoping for a Season 2. It rivals "Broadchurch" as one of the best cop/mystery series I've seen in a long time on any channel.

It has an amazing cast all-around and their chemistry and timing are spot-on. Very witty, fast and sarcastic writing/dialogue, but unfortunately they rely on using the F-word way too much. Plot is solid with lots of sub-plots on most characters that are equally interesting. Not many action scenes but it didn't matter because the plot and acting were so good. I thoroughly enjoyed this show and watched it all in four days. Big hit for Netflix.

I've watched maybe most of crime/detective series and this one is capturing you from the start till the end. Not many connects the spectator to the characters and the subject as this one. The variety of characters' personalities makes the series versatile clinging more to it. Thrilling and addictive being makes me hope to see many seasons to come with this quality. Well done guys! Thank you for making series like this and executing greatly. Having watched too many crime series, I guessed the killer a bit sooner than I'd preferred. My only criticism would be that next season can be a bit more surprising. Nevertheless it still gave me thrilling butterflies till the end.
