Codename: Icarus - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Episode 1
Test missiles mysteriously fail. A very bright student gets slammed by his school for cheating. A top agent takes on the role of super-scientist. Reality starts to fall apart as strange puzzles flood the computer networks.
Episode 2
Falconleigh seems to have infinite budget for redecorating. One thing Martin Smith is not short of is luxuries. The staff are friendly and courteous, perhaps even a little subservient. Of course, there are the spy cameras everywhere, the strange rules, the odd... intensity, but it's still paradise compared to what he had. Or is it?
Episode 3
The intellectual garden of Eden appears to have its snakes. Martin's efforts to find out what is inside a building supposedly just a storeroom are blocked. His efforts to study problems of interest to him are stymied. Commander Rutherford isn't doing much better, discouraged and dissuaded from investigation by officials at the highest levels.
Episode 4
Peter Farley is kidnapped by the disgraced Commander, who attempts to "replace" him. Meanwhile Martin discovers rather more than he bargained for and tries to leave. This proves a little harder than it first appears. It would seem the Icarus Foundation is rather more than just reluctant to let students depart.
Episode 5
Martin is lifted and the chase is on. But was it the right choice, a terrible blunder in moving too soon, or too little, too late? Martin's sanity is crumbling and his brainwashing makes a mockery of his resolve, but could there be much higher stakes than one boy and one piece of research?

Dept. Q
DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. 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 Department 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. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
