Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience and little 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.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime fans, anyone who likes to be kept guessing and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Brooklyn Nine-Nine or All Her Fault, start here.
The mood: Darkly funny, tense.
The pace: 4 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 30 minutes each).
What might put you off: Nothing much for most grown-ups.

Comedienne Dawn French tackles dark, tongue-in-cheek thrillers as her various characters embark on a different mystery every episode. In one way or another, she is involved with murder — either committing the crime or even getting bumped off herself!
