Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
Great for fans of prison dramas and anyone who likes life-or-death stakes every episode. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Liked The Defiant Ones? This is a good next one. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 29 min. It jumps around in time, so stay with it.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

An African-American prison psychiatrist finds the boundaries of his professionalism sorely tested when he must counsel a disturbed inmate with bigoted Nazi tendencies.
