Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office loss, almost no lasting buzz and a lukewarm 6.3 out of 10 from audiences, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans, anyone who likes to be kept guessing and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Knives Out or Insomnia, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Funny with heart, tense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 56 min.
What might put you off
Rated R: meant for adults.

Daryl Zero is a private investigator and—along with his assistant, Steve Arlo—he solves impossible crimes and puzzles. Although Daryl's a master investigator, he doesn't know what to do with himself when he's not working; he has no social skills, writes bad music and drives Steve crazy.
