Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small audience and a quick end, 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 likes to be kept guessing, anyone who wants a laugh and action fans. If you loved Spartacus: House of Ashur or Moonlighting, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart, tense.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 30 hours in all.
What might put you off
It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Xu Qi’an, a recent police academy graduate, awakens in a strange world filled with Confucians, Taoists, Buddhists, demons, and warlocks. Facing imminent exile to a remote frontier town, he seizes the chance to change his fate by joining a powerful organization of guardians.
