We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian.

We’re thrilled to welcome actor Alexej Manvelov to the show. His standout portrayal of Akram in Netflix’s hit Dept. Q has made the character one of this season’s most acclaimed and beloved.
In Scott Frank’s adaptation of the bestselling novels, Manvelov plays Akram, a former Syrian police officer and refugee who joins Edinburgh’s cold-case unit alongside Detective Carl Mørck (Matthew Goode). His subtle, magnetic performance has made Akram both a fan favorite and a critical standout.
Manvelov shares with Christina how he built the role, the choices behind key scenes, and his remarkable personal journey — from growing up in the Soviet Union to immigrating to Sweden at age ten, and pursuing his acting dreams while working night shifts.
With acclaimed roles in Top Dog and Chernobyl, his turn in Dept. Q cements Manvelov as one of today’s most captivating screen talents.
