Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and a short run with a modest audience, 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 loves a strong character drama. If you loved Boy Meets World, start here.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 39 hours in all.
What might put you off: It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Suenaga Kokoro, an international flight attendant, lives with her mother and grandmother who operate a traditional restaurant in a lively downtown district of Tokyo where customs and traditions run deep and neighbors know each other like a big family.
