Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a small audience and a quick end and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved The Office or Police Squad!, start here.
The mood: Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace: 3 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 10 hours in all.
What might put you off: Made in 1979: an older pace and style.

Follows the daily antics of Woodley police station, where officers are more interested in taking bribes and doing little work than catching criminals. Inspector Spooner lives alone in a flat above the station and often had to deal with the messes created by his junior staff.
