Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a small audience and a quick end and almost no 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 crime-drama fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Twin Peaks or A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, start here.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 15 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-MA: expect violence.
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
In the small bordertown of Villefranche, lost in the heart of a large forest, crime rate is six times higher than elsewhere in the area. Each new crime Major Laurène Weiss solves with the help of her unusual team makes her sink deeper and deeper into secrets of the area.
