Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for sci-fi fans. If you loved True Blood or Stranger Things, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, episodes of about 43 minutes, about 7 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.

A small town that is turned upside down when several local people, who have long been presumed dead, suddenly reappear; their presence creates both positive and negative consequences. As families are reunited, the lives of those who were left behind are challenged both physically and emotionally.
