Les dossiers oubliés

I have to say that Dept Q. Was actually better than I expected. There are a hundred new police shows that come out every year and even though I really enjoy them, with so many to choose from, one would really have to stand out in order to get peoples attention to watch it. Dept Q did that by all the great reviews it's been getting and how it's been at the top of Netflix's most watched list since it came out. I admit I watch a lot of tv and only do reviews on shows I like, I'm not going to waste my time reviewing something I don't like, I'll just give it a bad rating and move on. Dept Q is good enough to leave a review in hopes others will see all the good reviews and give it a chance. Matthew Goode is great here. I haven't seen a lot of Goode's work but the things I've seen him in (The Crown, The Offer, The Imitation Game, Watchmen, The Kings Man, Allied) he's been good in. This role was made for him and probably the best of his career. I hope this show finds others like it did me because it's worth the time.

I can't stop watching it and I'm hoping for a Season 2. It rivals "Broadchurch" as one of the best cop/mystery series I've seen in a long time on any channel.

It has an amazing cast all-around and their chemistry and timing are spot-on. Very witty, fast and sarcastic writing/dialogue, but unfortunately they rely on using the F-word way too much. Plot is solid with lots of sub-plots on most characters that are equally interesting. Not many action scenes but it didn't matter because the plot and acting were so good. I thoroughly enjoyed this show and watched it all in four days. Big hit for Netflix.

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.

I've watched maybe most of crime/detective series and this one is capturing you from the start till the end. Not many connects the spectator to the characters and the subject as this one. The variety of characters' personalities makes the series versatile clinging more to it. Thrilling and addictive being makes me hope to see many seasons to come with this quality. Well done guys! Thank you for making series like this and executing greatly. Having watched too many crime series, I guessed the killer a bit sooner than I'd preferred. My only criticism would be that next season can be a bit more surprising. Nevertheless it still gave me thrilling butterflies till the end.

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!!
