Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

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 Spider-Noir or A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, start here.
The mood: Tense and unsettling, dark and gritty.
The pace: 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 17 hours in all.
What might put you off: It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

A detective thinks about quitting his job. He takes on a female university student murder case that was disguised as a suicide. The detective becomes obsessed with solving the case. He has a young sister and she meets a man. The man does not remember when he was little. He is not a good person, but she has sympathy for him.
