Sunday Safe Betearly ratingWhy it’s a Sunday Safe Bet
It earned strong reviews (86% on Rotten Tomatoes) and it's still drawing plenty of interest, though it had a lukewarm 6.9 out of 10 from audiences and a short run with a modest audience. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved Chicago P.D., start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 42 minutes, about 15 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
- Audiences were cooler on it than critics.
Special Agent Simone Clark, the oldest rookie in the FBI, is a force of nature, the living embodiment of a dream deferred – and she works together with her new colleagues at the Los Angeles office of the Bureau to bring down the country’s toughest criminals.
