Netflix viewers have been left confused after a new psychological thriller disappeared from the streaming platform just hours after it was released.
Fans of Dept Q were left baffled after they started watching the offering on Thursday only to find it vanished after the first couple of episodes. The series tells the story of Detective Carl Morck (Matthew Goode) who is probing an unsolved missing persons case involving prosecutor Merritt Lingard (Chloe Pirrie), who had disappeared from a ferry several years earlier. Netflix viewers reported that many viewers had reported that it was suddenly no longer available to watch, and when they tried to select the show to watch on the Netflix homepage it seemed like it hadn’t been released yet. One person wrote on X: “Hey @netflix what happened to #DeptQ? Binge watched the first eight episodes, went out to dinner and it is no longer even showing up on Netflix. What the crap?????”
A second said: “@netflix ummm hello? Where did Dept Q go all of a sudden? Got up to episode four now it’s gone?? #wtf #netflix #deptq.”

A third shared: “Seems like there is some sort of problem at @NetflixUK @netflix. Had an email reminder about #DeptQ starting today. Just finished episode two & the whole thing has disappeared. You can’t even search for it. I was rather enjoying it. Be nice if #Netflix told us what’s happened.”
It seems the issue may have been a temporary one as all nine episodes of the series are available to watch again on Netflix UK.
Dept Q is based on Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen book series, which has previously been adapted for six films. The new Netflix version is set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Goode’s grumpy and confrontational detective is part of a team who are granted a special budget to investigate high-profile cold cases as part of a PR exercise.
The series also stars Jamie Sives, Mark Bonnar, Alexej Manvelov and Leah Byrne. A review from The Independent’s Nick Hilton saw the series given three stars as he claimed it features a “lazy assembly of character tropes,” but was still gripping viewing.

He wrote: “This first series unfurls over the course of nine hour-long episodes, giving it plenty of time to grow on you. Goode is a mercurial performer, capable of being, by turns, appealingly smooth and discomfitingly sleazy. He is a good fit for a ‘defective detective’ role like this. The rest of the cast – including Scottish luminaries like Mark Bonnar and Kelly Macdonald – round out a good ensemble.”
He added that what makes the series work is that Dept Q “it takes its mystery seriously”. “This may seem an obvious thing for a crime drama to do, but frequently the modern mystery is gossamer thin, privileging the psychodrama of the detective over crude tools like, you know, plot. Dept Q builds a big, meaty plot that’s half-procedural, half-horror. Over time it becomes more compelling, which is a strong recommendation,” he wrote.
