Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With middling reviews (46% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 7.0 out of 10 from audiences, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and sci-fi fans. If you loved FROM or Castle Rock, start here.
- The mood
- Tense.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14: scary moments. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
Kingdom is a hospital whose bizarre population includes a brilliant surgeon who lives in the basement, a nearly blind security guard and a nurse who regularly faints at the sight of blood. But when patients and staff hear the voice of a girl crying through the halls and a patient destined for life as a paraplegic miraculously recovers, they are dismissive of any suggestion of mysticism or unseen powers... at their own peril.
