Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but a lukewarm 6.2 out of 10 from audiences and soft box office held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Federal agent Alexandra Barnes believes that Catherine Petersen is a serial killer who marries rich men and then murders them for their money. But since Catherine is seemingly a master of disguise and has multiple identities, Alexandra can't prove anything with conventional detective work. With no other option, she goes undercover, pursuing the same man as Catherine, and hoping that Catherine will slip up and reveal her true identity.
