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 loves a strong character drama.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 13 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
Catherine Black is a world-famous neurologist at the state-of-the-art medical institution known as "The Cube". Catherine is brilliant, beautiful, and at the top of her game, though she's hiding a secret of her own: she's bipolar. Each week, the doctors on staff attempt to unravel the mysteries of the brain and are constantly challenged by cases never-before-seen on television. The medical stories are moving, bizarre and a visual feast. The personal stories are riveting. The patients have rare, highly visual, often hallucinogenic and startling conditions, which we’ll see through their eyes as Catherine diagnoses and treats them.
