A first trailer for Netflix's new Edinburgh-set police drama Dept Q has been released.
The series, which features Line of Duty's Kelly Macdonald and Downton Abbey's Matthew Goode, follows an officer who is assigned to a new cold case unit after a traumatic experience that left a young cop dead and his partner paralysed.
In the preview, we meet Goode's DCI Carl Morck as he speaks to Macdonald's therapist Dr Rachel Irving about the incident.
He is then given the new department to tackle cold cases, though is less than pleased with his new lot. However, Morck and his new colleagues plan to "rattle" some cages as their trail appears to lead them to investigate the police themselves.
Dept Q is based on the novels by Jussi Adler-Olsen, and also stars Mark Bonnar, Kate Dickie, Chloe Pirrie, Jamie Sives, Alexej Manvelov, Leah Byrne, Shirley Henderson and Tom Bulpett.

"DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague," the synopsis teases. "His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh Police.
"After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Dept. Q; a newly formed cold case unit.
"The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him."

Carl then starts to "build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove", as they look into the case of a civil servant who disappeared a few years ago.
The show comes from writer and director Scott Frank, who co-created fellow Netflix show The Queen's Gambit.
Dept Q will premiere on Netflix on 29 May.
