Sunday Safe Betearly rating

Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

Critics loved it (96% on Rotten Tomatoes), though it had a short run with a modest audience. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

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

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for action fans. If you loved Spartacus: House of Ashur, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood: Exciting.
The pace: 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings.
What might put you off: Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

In a close-knit Georgia community, a family-owned wrestling promotion finds two brothers and rivals war over their late father’s legacy. In the ring, somebody must play the good guy and somebody must play their nemesis, the heel. But in the real world, those characters can be hard to live up to (and just as hard to leave behind).
