Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and a short run with a modest audience, 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 fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Dexter or Dark Winds, start here.
The mood: Tense, gritty.
The pace: 4 seasons: a few months of evenings, episodes of about 48 minutes, about 26 hours in all.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Old-school police detective Pierre Niemans and his former student Camille Delaunay tackle complex, brutal murder cases.
