Department Q (2025)
#1
Everyone in the show is horrible with the exception of one Syrian IT guy who wants to be a police officer.

Set in Scotland but based on a Danish book called Keeper of Lost Causes. The show starts with Detective Carl and his partner investigating a murder. Things go downhill. Back at the police station everyone hates Carl. Carl shows why he is worth hating.

There is parallel story going on of a lawyer trying to convict a man for killing his wife. What makes this problematic is she keeps receiving threatening phone calls.

Eventually Cop Carl and the lawyer's story intertwine. 

The story is just getting started. The Scottish accents were so thick at times, I was tempted to turn on captioning. There are flashes of Cop Carl being less horrible but it's early stages yet. The show has echoes of House and Sherlock Holmes with the attitude that I am so much smarter than all of you.

I'll watch more.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

I enjoyed this, although the main crime is somewhat preposterous. The Syrian IT guy does steal the show.

Kudos to the Syrian guy. It got better as you went along. We watched so infrequently it was hard to keep the characters straight. But it eventually clicked and we binged the final three episodes. Still some big loose ends hanging but there is a good resolution.
