A new BritBox series centers on a deaf woman who works in a police station, and whose lip-reading abilities come in handy when the precinct needs help interpreting surveillance footage.

John Powers reviewed "Endling," by Maria Reva.

The new Netflix series "Dept. Q" stars Matthew Goode as a crack Edinburgh police detective who brings together a team of misfits to help search for a woman who vanished several years ago. Our critic-at-large, John Powers, says it's one of those crime series that's less about the solution than watching the byplay of the characters.
