Expediente 64: Los casos del departamento Q

The chemistry between Nickolaj Lie Kaas as Carl and Fares Fares as Assad is something other crime series can only wish for and finally crosses a line in this episode of the Department Q series. It's extremely disappointing to read of the production changes that have led to recasting the leads so enjoy their further character development in Journal 64.

A distressing series of crimes from the dark history of Denmark is being investigated by our favourite detectives here. Carl is still as grumpy as ever to begin with and personal involvement makes this case more of a quest for Assad than usual. At times in this taut thriller, they transform into superheroes but I am happy to suspend disbelief to see Carl and Assad succeed and the criminals caught.
