Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 7.1 out of 10 from audiences and a short run with a modest audience, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for action fans, families and animation lovers.
The mood: Feel-good.
The pace: 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 14 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-Y7. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.

The Legend of Tarzan picks up where the 1999 feature film left off, with the title character adjusting to his new role as leader of the apes following Kerchak's death, and Jane adjusting to life in the jungle. Rounding out the cast are Jane's father, Professor Archimedes Porter; Tantor, the germophobic elephant; and Terk, a wisecracking female gorilla and Tarzan's old wrestling buddy.
