Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small 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 sci-fi fans. If you loved The Flash, start here.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, short, snackable episodes, about 3 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.

Richard Mayhew leads an ordinary life in London when one day a girl named Door falls, injured, across his path. The next thing he knows, his life is gone and he's pulled into the fantastical world of London Below. Pursued by the murderous Messrs. Croup and Vandemar, Door and Richard with the help of Hunter and the Marquis de Carabas, attempt to find the Angel Islington, who knows the secret behind the murder of Door's family, and possibly a way for Richard to go home.
