Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime-drama fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Agatha Christie's Poirot or High Potential, start here.
The mood: Tense, dark and gritty.
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.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Harry Houdini and Stratton are tasked with the cases that nobody else can solve. It challenges their sense of what is real and what is not. Houdini is a skeptic, while Doyle believes in the unseen. Their diverse viewpoints make solving crime a challenge and often Stratton is put in the middle. The trio will take on cases that involve vampires, ghosts, monsters and poltergeists…or are they a ruse to conceal murder?
