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 sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved The Flash, start here.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 21 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
Another being from Nebula M-78, identical to the original Ultraman, combines with car racer-turned-MAT patrol member Hideki Gô, and fights assorted menaces in a frightening new "Age of Monsters."
