Fans of the show were understandably upset when Dept Q, created by Scott Frank of The Queen’s Gambit fame, was added to Netflix and then swiftly taken down. Social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit were flooded with disgruntled viewers who couldn’t understand why the show disappeared so abruptly.

One Twitter user expressed their frustration, saying they had just finished episode one and were ready for more when they realized the show was no longer available. Another Reddit user shared a similar experience of being unable to continue watching after episode two.

Thankfully, the show has been restored to the platform, but the reasons behind its sudden removal remain unclear. Dept Q follows a compelling missing person case involving a Scottish prosecutor and features a talented cast including Matthew Goode, Chloe Pirrie, Alexej Manvelov, Leah Byrne, and Kate Dickie.

Despite the initial hiccup, Dept Q has received positive reviews from both fans and critics. Lucy Mangan of The Guardian praised the show for its excellent crime drama and standout performances. James Jackson of The Times noted that Dept Q, despite its generic premise, stands out for its slick production and captivating visuals.

Now, viewers can enjoy Dept Q on Netflix without any unexpected interruptions. LADbible has reached out to Netflix for further comment on the situation.
