With almost no 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 crime-drama fans and action fans. If you loved Fargo or Columbo, start here.
The mood: Dark and gritty.
The pace: 3 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 40 minutes, about 12 hours in all.
What might put you off: It's in Polish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

After a bombing attack at the Poland–Ukraine border which killed his friends from the Border Guard, Captain Wiktor Rebrow tries to unravel the mystery and figure out what happened and who is behind it all.
