Les Dossiers Oubliés

I'm not ashamed to say that I binge watched this in just 2 days.

I couldn't stop. It was brilliant and I throughly enjoyed it. It was dark, thrilling, excellent writing and well acted, a stellar cast.

I do hope that there is a second series and the final episode was so exciting. I really hope that there is a second series.

I adore a crime thriller & it was definitely one of best series I've watched on Netflix so far this year. Bravo & very well done to all. I look forward to hearing that it's been renewed.

I gave the series a 10 out of 10 and I would highly recommend it. You won't regret it.

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.

Excellent mystery! I wasn't sure at first but was hooked by the end of the first episode.

Carl and the Dept. Q crew are all damaged in their own ways - physically, emotionally - but as they work through the case they slowly move towards healing, separately and together.

But not in a shmaltzy way - there is a lot of smartassery and snark. The characters' interactions are very often quite funny and the entire show has a rich vein of dark humour.

It is refreshing to see so many fully realized female characters who are neither stereotypically entirely nasty nor doormats.

I'm very interested in discovering more about Akram and what he really did in Syria.

I have never seen or read any of the source material so don't know how it compares but it is a great show with a twisty mystery and characters who develop and grow. A little human mess is interesting but full time 24/7 disaster in every episode gets boring after a couple of episodes, a pitfall this show avoids.

I'm so glad I gave Dept Q a chance because I couldn't stop watching it. I binged through all 9 episodes in just a few days. Dept Q is about brilliant cop named Carl Morck (Matthew Goode) who nobody seems to like. He's given the job to head up a new department full of misfits solving Edinburg's cold cases. It's a very compelling and gritty crime thriller that will keep you entertained throughout the season. There are some parts that are a little drawn out and a few too many flashbacks but for the most part it's a great new series from Netflix. I hope they plan on doing multiple seasons because it's that good.

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!!
