Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Monty Python's Flying Circus, start here.
The mood: Provocative satire that goes after everyone, tense.
The pace: 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 42 minutes, about 16 hours in all.
What might put you off: It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

The super-charged comedy-horror series is a modern take on the classic whodunit with a killer cast.
