Matthew Goode Is Promoted to 'Dept. Q' in Trailer for 'The Queen's Gambit' Creator's New Mystery Series

Matthew Goode is ready to rattle some cages in the official trailer for Dept. Q. In less than one month, Netflix will debut the new detective series from The Queen's Gambit creator Scott Frank that features the A Discovery of Witches star as DCI Carl Morck, who's described as "a brilliant cop, but a terrible colleague" with no allies in the Edinburgh police and a lot of guilt on his conscience. A shooting that killed a young officer and paralyzed his partner leaves him feeling responsible, and matters only get worse when his bosses "promote" him to the head of a new department dedicated to cold cases. However, the new basement office is just a PR front to distract an unsatisfied public from their failures. Yet, the footage sees him rising to the occasion and finding new energy with a new team of misfits, making real strides on a long-unsolved case.
