![]() ![]() Still torturing himself after leading a botched ambush that resulted in the death of one of his team and the paralysis of another, he returns from sick leave to find that he has been demoted, in effect, to Department Q, the gloomy basement filing-cabinet-filled repository of cold cases. It has the requisite idiosyncratic lead detective in depressed and moody Carl Mørck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas, The Killing’s Mathias Borch, with an unsettling resemblance to Dominic West). In fact, it’s a film adaptation of the first of several best-selling novels by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen. Shot mainly in murky blues and greys, this intense Scandi crime thriller would slot neatly into BBC4’s Saturday evening schedules as the pilot episode of yet another acclaimed subtitled television series. Suspenseful Scandi crime thriller – a disgraced homicide detective is assigned to the cold cases department and uncovers the unexplained disappearance of a politician five years earlier. ![]()
