Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience 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
Made for crime-drama fans and action fans. If you loved Marvel's Daredevil or Marvel's The Punisher, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 17 hours in all.
What might put you off
Nothing much: an easy pick for most people.

The City of Angels is falling apart, and crime pervades the city to the core. The mayor is corrupt, the police are inept, the city needs a figure to take control of the situation. Then in the light of day Darcy Walker is a cop, but in the dark of night she becomes the Black Scorpion. She does with a mash what she can't do with a badge. This is vigilante justice, old school style.
