Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a small audience and a quick end and little lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it: Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved Power Book IV: Force or Goliath, start here.
The mood: Dark and gritty.
The pace: 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, 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.

A dark and compelling thriller centering on Detective Superintendent Elizabeth Bancroft, a female detective with an explosive secret.

The show overall is a Monday Morning Maybe. Here's how each season stacks up; Season 2 is the high point.
