Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz, 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, action fans and animation lovers. If you loved Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, start here.
- The mood
- Tense.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 10 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Oz Vessalius, heir to one of the duke houses, has just turned fifteen. His life is rich and carefree, darkened only by the constant absence of his father. At his coming-of-age ceremony, however, everything changes. For no reason that he can discern, he's cast into the prison known as the "Abyss", only to be saved by a "chain" known as Alice, the bloodstained black rabbit. It is unknown why was he cast into Abyss, how does Alice factor into it all, and what does the organization known as "Pandora" want with him.
