Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience 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.

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh and the curious.
The mood: Light and funny, eye-opening.
The pace: 3 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 32 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.

Host Adam Conover employs a combination of comedy, history and science to dispel widespread misconceptions about everything we take for granted.
