Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Samurai Jack or Ahsoka, start here.
The mood
Mind-bending.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 44 minutes, about 8 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

Refugees from a war-torn country start showing up to seek asylum in an American town. Only the country these people are from is America and the war they are fleeing is 250 years in the future. The local sheriff with a past, a federal agent and a mother in search of her missing refugee daughter drive this allegory with a surprising conspiracy at the center.
