Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and a lukewarm 49% audience score, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for people who need a laugh after work and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. Anyone who's had a job will recognize these people. A good follow-up to The Guilty or Prisoners.
- The mood
- Tense.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
When the daughter of veteran 911 call center operator Pamela, and her estranged husband Jeremy, a Senior Police Officer, is kidnapped and held hostage, they are left desperate, with no choice but to follow the kidnapper's rules: send messages through dispatch for all police and fire units to scatter to remote locations throughout the city where they are met with chaos. Not knowing who or why, they must race against the clock to make the choice of their lives: save the city — or save their daughter.
