Storyline for Binge Dept Q on Netflix

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 paralyzed, 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.
