The second episode: A new case in the hands.

A follow up to 'The Keeper of Lost Causes' based on the Danish crime-thriller novel of the same name in the original language. That one was a classy, a brilliant initiation in the 'Department Q' series. One of the best Scandinavian detective movie I have ever seen. I expected same energetic, caliber and suspenseful in this as well. But marginally disappointing, yet it stood and delivered to the previous film's standard.

In this second episode, it was a murder mystery for Carl and Assad to crack it down. They did not choose it, the case did. I... read the rest.
