Actor talks about changing gears for Netflix drama Dept. Q after The Crown and Downton Abbey roles, and reuniting with director Scott Frank
Matthew Goode quite likes being a leading man.
He is the star of Dept. Q, based on the books by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen and set in the cold case division of an Edinburgh police station.
From The Queen’s Gambit producer Scott Frank, the nine-part miniseries, now streaming on Netflix, sees Goode playing a one-man combination of good cop/bad cop.
While Detective Chief Inspector Carl Morck is a brilliant investigator, he is equally successful at annoying people – grudging respect for his talent quickly turns into intense dislike.
