- Who'll love it
- Made for crime-drama fans, anyone who wants a laugh and sci-fi fans. If you loved Mr. Mercedes, start here.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 23 hours in all.

A Grim Reaper, a detective and a woman who foresees death get ensnared in matters of life and death -- and dark mysteries of twenty years past.
