The Interiors In Netflix's 'Dept. Q' Have Main Character Energy: Why They're More Significant Than You Might Think
If you're watching Dept. Q the latest police drama on Netflix, then you're probably trying to figure out solicitor Merritt Lingard's fate or wondering what Season 2 will entail. Or, like us, you could be so fixated on the interiors that you're too distracted to concentrate on the crimes in question. At first glance the interiors are dark, cold and gritty – see: the basement urinals where Detective Carl Morck (played by Matthew Goode) and his micro-team have to set up office. But look closer, and the interiors are stylised, atmospheric and we'd quite like to recreate some of them at home. Plus, they have their own main character energy and play a big part in creating the edginess of the drama. And while the Netflix show is based on a series of crime books by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen set in Copenhagen, Dept. Q has moved its setting to the Scottish city Edinburgh, with the show's creator Scott Frank describing it as 'the perfect combination between the modern and the medieval'. These are our top interiors moments in Dept. Q and why they matter. In the opening episode of the series, we go to into Carl's boss, Moira Jacobson's office at the Edinburgh Police HQ. While the force may be in need of a cash injection, we couldn't stop staring at the carpet! With a fitting tartan nod, the green-and-red square pattern has a 70's-style template that complements the vertical wood paneling and mid-century furniture. Not to mention the bare concrete pillars and floor-to-ceiling Crittal windows. While you know the carpet gives off stale 'grandparent house' cigarette smoke, it's also giving us good Mad Men vibes. It doesn't look like much when Carl is shown down to his new office quarters for Dept. Q – it is after all the police HQ's old toilet/shower/changing room/gym. But it's the basement space, named 'Q', that gives the department, and the show, its name. 'Where's this office?' asks Carl. 'Q?' he replies as Jacobson hands him the labelled keys. 'Where's that?' he asks. 'Downstairs,' she replies. 'But the offices are numbered downstairs, Moira,' retorts Carl. 'I meant downstairs downstairs,' she replies. And it's amazing what some lighting can do to the space, which starts off piled full of discarded chairs and old case note boxes. Especially for the Claridge's green and bottle brown rectangular wall tiles which perfectly offset the geometric floor and ceiling pendant lights. In a later episode, when DC Rose Dickson (played by Leah Byrne) joins the department, it gets positively atmospheric and you could easily forget about the urinals and the discarded gym weights, that Carl can't lift, around the corner. We're particularly into Merritt's house by the sea, although if we were receiving mysterious death threats, we really wouldn't want to be living in a building with so much glass. Filmed in Dirleton in East Lothian, the actual house was an old World War II radar station which had been renovated and then sold. Dept.Q's supervising location manager Hugh Gourlay has said: 'We ended up painting it to give it a more austere flavour. It has that feeling of Merritt's coldness.' There's coolness to the interiors too with the stainless steel kitchen, the bare concrete floors and white-washed walls. Again, the lighting, in the form of up-lit wall fittings and large arc floor lamps, creates the eerie atmosphere that gives that bad-person-lurking-outside feel, as does the open plan design. Draw the curtains Merritt! The care home that Merritt's brother William ends up in, and that Carl and his anorak-wearing, far more charismatic sidekick Akram Salim (played by Alexej Manvelov) visit in episode two, is set outside of Edinburgh in Midlothian. It was shot at Vogrie House, Pathhead, an old mansion that was made to 'look like a clinic, institutional but richer than it is,' according to location manager Gourlay. Indeed it looks more like an ambassador's residence than a care home with mahogany furnishings, plush velvet armchairs and a sweeping grand staircase. The luxe mansion feel begs the question: what part does the suspiciously glamorous Dr Fiona Wallace (played by Michelle Duncan), now in charge of William's care, have in all of this? And also, who is paying for him to be there? ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Movie review: '28 Years Later' takes ambitious, dubious risks

LOS ANGELES, June 18 (UPI) -- 28 Years Later, in theaters Friday, takes many creative risks with the horror franchise. Just enough of those risks pay off to make the film worthwhile, though several threaten to derail the whole movie. The sequel opens 28 years after the rage virus infected Britain in 2002's 28 Days Later. The region was quarantined by the rest of the world in the 2007 follow-up 28 Weeks Later, which ended with the virus spreading to mainland Europe. 28 Years Later introduces viewers to 12-year-old Spike (Alfie Williams), who lives in a gated Scottish community with his father, Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), and ailing mother, Isla (Jodie Comer). Jamie takes Spike on his first excursion to the mainland, teaching the boy how to kill infected attackers with a bow and arrow. Emboldened by his new skills, Spike ventures out again with his mother to search for the infamous Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), whom he hopes can treat Isla. Returning director Danny Boyle, after skipping 28 Weeks, makes several stylistic choices that can make 28 Years Later abrasive to watch. There are occasional shots with low grade, blurry video, perhaps to harken back to 2002's primitive digital cameras, but most of the movie is clear. Boyle intercuts black and white footage of armies and Boy Scouts marching with Jamie's lessons for Spike. Further montages incorporate color footage of medieval knights defending a castle with bows and arrows. The entire film is framed wider than the movie screen, but theater screens can't get any wider. So that means the picture actually shrinks to fit the width of the screen, leaving space at the top and bottom. Since many theaters already project this way, leaving space above and below on the screen, this film will exacerbate that even further. No movie screen in 2025 is as wide as Lawrence of Arabia anymore, so why create an image that no theater can project in full? None of these techniques enhance the film, and many of them feel like they're daring the viewer to keep watching. The latter is consistent with Boyle's filmography. Such techniques can be brilliant in Trainspotting, 127 Hours or Slumdog Millionaire, but not so appealing in The Beach and Sunshine. Fortunately, the gimmicks calm down once Spike and Isla's journey gets underway, but the story has more boundaries to push before it's done. After 28 years, the rage infected are now naked and feral, adding to the intimidation factor. Whether a horde or just one infected, their pursuit of Spike and his parents is intense. Boyle and co-writer Alex Garland make a choice regarding the biology of the infected that is equal parts bold, inappropriate and preposterous. Dr. Kelson offers an explanation that only raises more questions. Arriving 18 years after the first sequel, 28 Years Later is hardly the definitive last word on the rage virus saga. It does suggest what became of the British societies left behind under quarantine. 28 Years Later provides its share of harrowing encounters with the infected, but seems more interested in using the franchise as a vehicle to try out confrontational techniques. While not all of them work, it is admirable that at least Boyle and Garland are so ambitious they are not afraid to fail sometimes.
