Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small 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 wants a laugh, sci-fi fans and families. If you loved Hawkeye or The Fairly OddParents, start here.
The mood: Funny with heart, feel-good.
The pace: One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 3 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.

On the night before Hogswatch, the holiday where children anticipate presents from the beloved Hogfather, Death notices that the Hogfather's life-timer is lying broken on the floor of his castle. Could it be that Hogswatch will not happen this year?
