This week on The British TV Watchlist, we head to Edinburgh for Dept.Q, a cold-case crime drama that blends emotional depth with slow-burning suspense. Based on Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Danish novels, the series follows DCI Carl Mørck (played by Matthew Goode) as he returns from trauma to lead an underfunded basement unit alongside Akram Salim (Alexej Manvelov) and Rose Dickson (Leah Byrne).Together, they investigate the mysterious disappearance of a local prosecutor, uncovering dark conspiracies and personal demons along the way.
