Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a small audience and a quick end 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.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, sci-fi fans and history buffs. If you loved Silo or The Walking Dead, start here.
- The mood
- Tense, intense.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 14 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
One family’s fight for survival in a future dystopian Madrid illustrates the disparity between two worlds separated by a fence — and so much more.
