‘I gotta say, when it comes to detective shows, the British are cream of the crop. This new show on @netflix called #DeptQ is pure greatness,’ someone else said.
One fan added: ‘I need the season 2 for #DeptQ like right now!!!’
‘Binge watching #DeptQ it is sooooo good, one more episode to go,’ another penned.
Dept Q impressed the Mail’s Christopher Stevens too, who rated the series four out of five stars and raved over the ‘explosive plot twists’.
As viewers watch a rugged Goode making darkly comical quips onscreen in the detective drama, some may recognise the tall, dark and handsome figure from his countless other roles in TV and film during his illustrious career – in which he is, more often than not, perfectly groomed.

Among Goode’s many acting credits are the dashing Henry Talbot, race car driver and love interest of Lady Mary Crawley in Downton Abbey.
He also won hearts in The Crown as society photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon in the second season of the biographical drama series, for which he received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.
The British heartthrob has been busy working on varying roles throughout the years, from cult horror hit Stoker to The Imitation Game and even dabbling in vampire fantasy with A Discovery of Witches in 2018.
