Set in Edinburgh, there is no shortage of Scottish performers in Netflix’s new detective series Dept. Q.
Based on Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen’s novels of the same name, despite being originally set in Denmark when adapting the books for TV, creator Scott Frank transplants the action from Copenhagen to Edinburgh.
Despite being led by Matthew Goode, Dept. Q boasts a large Scottish cast with names from Kelly Macdonald and Chloe Pirrie to Mark Bonnar and Kate Dickie all appearing.
