Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small audience and almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

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

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Master of None or Ginny & Georgia, start here.
The mood: Funny with heart.
The pace: One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, short, snackable episodes, about 3 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

A down-and-out DJ plots to rebuild his music career while working as a nanny for his famous best friend's wild 11-year-old daughter.
