Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small audience, 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 crime-drama fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Mr. Mercedes or Dexter: New Blood, start here.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 8 hours in all.
What might put you off
It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Cha Su-yeol, a police officer who has long despised his mother, the notorious 'Mantis' serial killer, must reluctantly turn to her for help when a copycat killer emerges.
