Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a small audience and a quick end and almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Doctor Who or INVINCIBLE, start here.

- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 40 minutes, about 9 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
