Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

People are still talking about it, but a small audience and a lukewarm 6.6 out of 10 from audiences held it back. 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 sci-fi fans. If you loved Fringe or The Strain, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-MA: expect drug use and sex.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

The world of high fashion turns dark when international supermodels begin dying in gruesome and mysterious ways. FBI Agents Cooper Madsen and Jordan Bennett are sent to Paris to uncover the truth. As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into visions of physical perfection, but with terrifying consequences.
