Q Netflix, streaming now DCI Carl Morck may be an excellent investigator, but there's no hiding from the fact that he's a terrible co-worker. There's the small matter of his scathing sarcasm, which has left him without a single friend in the Edinburgh police force. Then there's the rather more serious issue of him having fatally shot a young officer and permanently injured his partner. Unsurprisingly enough, following this tragic turn of events, Morck is relegated to Department Q: a cold-case unit which was created as a publicity stunt. Although the force is thrilled to see Carl go, he soon sets about assembling a group of outcasts who are all keen to prove themselves. Yes, it does sound a bit like Slow Horses, which is quite the gauntlet for Netflix to throw. Only time will tell if it's worthy of comparison.

WATCH: Dublin, Galway four red card incidents highlighted by Sunday Game panel
The Sunday Game panel suggested there could have been as many as four red cards in Galway's Leinster Championship round robin victory over Dublin at Parnell Park today. Jackie Tyrrell was particularly scathing over a challenge by Dublin's Conor Donohoe, while Joe Canning and Anthony Daly took issue with a other incidents in the game, including a swipe by Galway goalkeeper Darach Fahy on AJ Murphy, and a thumping frontal hit from Daithi Burke on Conor Burke. The other incident, which Daly highlighted, was a late challenge by Dublin's John Hetheron, who was already on a yellow card from an earlier tackle, but avoided any further punishment. Match referee Colm Lyons didn't red card anyone in the game. Dublin were incensed at the time over the incident with AJ Murphy, which happened after the ball was cleared, but it appears the officials didn't see it. Daithi Burke was yelllow carded for his hit but the Conor Donohoe challenge went unpunished. Speaking on the Sunday Game Live, former Galway star Canning showed he isn't afraid to call it as he sees it, even with his own county: 'Coming out here, they're in a tangle," he said. "(Darach Fahy) is very lucky. 'He's very lucky. It could have been (a red card) easily. Here again, Daithi (Burke) is very lucky. He just meets him in the chest and up to the face." Anthony Daly felt that Burke's high challenge was a certain red card. Elsewhere, Jackie Tyrrell felt that one sending off for each team would have been a fair outcome. 'I would say it's probably one (red card) each on each side,' he said. 'I think Conor Donohoe and Daithi Burke are extremely lucky. They both should probably be (red carded). 'Let's be fair. The two of them should probably do the lotto tonight, they're so lucky to be on the field. 'Conor Donohoe's, that is vicious. You could actually take the head off him doing that. How that was missed by the umpire a couple of feet in front of him, I don't know. 'They're both very lucky. They both (Galway and Dublin) should be down to 14 men at least.'
