Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and action fans. If you loved Gangs of London or The Day of the Jackal, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 8 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

In the forgotten town of Carp, Texas, Panic is the only way out. Every summer the graduating seniors risk their lives competing in a series of challenges for the chance to win life-changing money. After the death of two players the stakes—and danger—have never been higher.
