Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small audience and a quick end 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. If you loved Homeland, start here.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 10 hours in all.
What might put you off: It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

In this "Traffic"-like action drama, an international conspiracy explodes when three strangers' lives unexpectedly collide - a female soldier, a corporate lawyer and a political activist.
