Netflix recently launched a gripping crime thriller series that has soared to popularity in no time, breaking into the top echelons worldwide and securing an impressive 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The television collection on Netflix is consistently growing, with fresh, engaging shows being added almost every week for binge-watching pleasure. The debut of Sirens has been a standout, but another show is rapidly gaining traction and threatening to overtake it in the prestigious global rankings of Netflix’s streaming service.
As a cinephile, I’m always excited about sneak peeks at upcoming shows, and Netflix delivered at their Tudum event with new info on “Stranger Things” season 5 and “Wednesday” season 2. However, it’s not uncommon for lesser-known titles to unexpectedly capture the world’s attention when they strike a chord with Netflix’s algorithm. This new series shares a resemblance with shows like “Baby Reindeer” and “Adolescence”, captivating adult audiences worldwide.
Dept. Q Becomes Major Netflix Success
Audiences Around The World Are Loving The Scottish Crime Thriller
Based on Netflix streaming statistics, the thriller series Departure Q has moved swiftly into the third spot on their global ranking. This gripping show is adapted from the Department Q book series, with filming taking place in Scotland. Matthew Goode (known for The Good Wife), Chloe Pirrie (recognized from The Queen’s Gambit), and Kelly Macdonald (renowned for No Country For Old Men) are among its star-studded cast. Notably, Scott Frank, a two-time Academy Award nominee with credits in Logan, Minority Report, and most recently, Netflix productions like The Queen’s Gambit, is the series creator.
The TV series centers around Carl Morck, a once elite detective now based in Edinburgh, who’s grappling with guilt from a past incident that left his partner disabled and cost another police officer their life. For viewers who appreciate compelling psychological thrillers featuring well-developed characters and exceptional performances, this show not only adapts renowned books, but its scriptwriting has been praised by both critics and audiences.
Our Take On Dept. Q’s Success
Netflix Is On A Roll In 2025
In contrast to the numerous streaming services challenging Netflix, it remains the dominant player. Although past years have been marked by criticism over quantity over quality, 2025 has witnessed a remarkable comeback for Netflix. The critically acclaimed series “Squid Game” season 2 and “Adolescence” were the most-watched TV shows of the 2024-2025 season, and I’m optimistic that Netflix will keep churning out high-quality productions, with some of its biggest releases still to come this year.
