If you’re looking for something to add to your binge-watching schedule, or for a meaty crime saga to help pass the upcoming July 4th weekend, IFC Films has just the thing with their “Department Q” trilogy. They are bringing the Danish films stateside, and for anyone looking to dive into some intense thrillers, this will be one to watch.

Based on Jussi Adler-Olsen’s international bestsellers, the series follows maverick detective Carl Mørck (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) who after majorly botching an assignment, is busted down to investigating cold cases with his new partner Assad (Fares Fares) and secretary Rose (Johanne Louise Schmidt). What they uncover is unsettling and leads them down paths with no shortage of twists and surprises. And in this clip from “Department Q: A Conspiracy Of Faith” — which sees the detectives looking into a case with religious undercurrents — you can get a great sense of the gripping tone that can be felt across all three films.
“Department Q: The Keeper of Lost Causes,” “Department Q: The Absent One,” and “Department Q: A Conspiracy of Faith” are now playing in limited release and available on VOD.
