Carl: "...sometimes it's better to give the cage a good rattle to see how the tiger responds when it wakes up."
Akram: "This is how many animal trainers have lost their arm."

This is the movie we all wanna see, right?

Carl: "Got my back or not?"
Moira: "If you have to ask me that - you've not been listening."

Carl is not a happy bunny. Did Moira back down on the original Lingard case?

Streng genommen ist die Serie nicht schottisch, auch wenn sie da spielt und viele schottische Schauspieler hat. Der Showrunner ist Amerikaner. 🙂 Aber grandios ist sie auf jeden Fall!

Rose: "Jesus, Carl you can't just say things like that!"...
Carl: "Well if its good enough for Chaucer"
Rose: "Except this isn't old England and you're not f****** Beowulf!!"
Carl: 🙄
👏Rose - even tho' the literary reference was a tad off

Carl Morck in a nutshell. #DeptQ #CarlMorck #MatthewGoode

Dept Q series cover

Top marks for this one!

I’m officially finished with the season, and I’d give it 10/10.

Stoked there will be a second season, because if it went the same way as The Residence (being cancelled), that might have been my villain origin story. 😆

He probably doesn't have the energy to go out on his own. Before the Leith Park shooting he might have. I think he's got too much on his plate right now to think about drinks or dating. He might go out with friends if they ask, though.

It's Friday again... #deptq #carlmorck

Thank you! Matthew is amazing, I'm just the messenger. 😄

10 minutes straight of Matthew Goode acting with his hands. Some of the most expressive acting I've seen and it's wonderful! Can't help but love him as curmudgeonly, broody detective.

Carl : "I cannot stress to you how much I don't want to regret this."

Oh my heart! Carl reuniting Claire and William was the best.

Yes, but the show may stray from the books in that regard. Scott Frank was vague about it in interviews. He said he could imagine Carl with other women, plural, and that he liked them as friends rather than lovers. So it's not a given we'll see Rachel again, or see her as a love interest for Carl.

Dept. Q Season 1 Timeline

How long did it take to solve the Lingard case?
I’ve sat down and gone through all the episodes to try and figure out how many actual days were shown between Carl coming back to work after the shooting and finding Merritt.
And the answer is: 20

Ja, stimme ich zu! Ich habe etwas Hoffnung dass es bei Staffel 2 vielleicht schneller geht, aber wer weiß...

Staffel 2 ist schon geordert, sie fangen mit dem Filmen Anfang 2026 an. Ausstrahlungsdatum ist aber bisher unbekannt, vermutlich 2027.

Playing around with Carl Morck wallpapers...

Thank you, I'm really glad you like it! I could see Carl enjoying chess, except he might not have the patience for it. 🙂 There are a few Carl and Rachel shippers out there, for sure.

Inspiration has struck again and I made a Carl/Rachel fanvid. I really hope Rachel will be back for season 2, the chemistry is definitely there!

"And you know suffering, do you?"
#DeptQ #DepartmentQ #CarlMorck

Glad to have you!

Yes, one wonders if there is actual sabotage at play that he has missed all these rather blatant clues that Carl points out. I also hope he will be in season 2. Fingers crossed!

It's called professional courtesy, even if only one of us is actually a professional.

The interview linked here is well worth a read for any #DeptQ fan, especially the part where Matthew talks about how to approach Carl's visual identity.

Carl in all his wild hair, broody splendour on the island of Mhòr.

Thank you! ❤️

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

Thank you! It was a lot of fun going through all the episodes to pick the right scenes for this. He does need a break! And all the help he can get, if he'd just accept it.
