    Can't wait for S2

    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.

    Outstanding Cop/Mystery Series!

    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.

    Dept Q

    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.

    Excellent!

    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!!

    Hope this gets multiple seasons

    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.
