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 anyone who loves a strong character drama. If you loved Riverdale or Heartstopper, start here.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: 3 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 20 hours in all.
What might put you off: Nothing much for most grown-ups.

The Carlin family moves from small town Ohio to Los Angeles to find life's not the same. And neither are they.
