Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With soft box office and little lasting buzz, 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
- Best for fans of medical drama and people ready for a good cry. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run. It's about loss, handled with care rather than melodrama.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 28 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
When Dr. Drew Carter tragically loses his ten-year old son in a car accident, he didn’t expect to lose his whole family as well. Since the accident, his wife (Julia) has become emotionally absent towards him and their daughter. When Johnny, a terminally ill foster child with leukemia, is referred to Drew he sees a chance to heal his family. With Julia against the idea, Drew takes matters into his own hands and adopts Johnny. Johnny doesn’t know what he is in for, but believes he is here for a special mission.
