Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a small audience, 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 loves a strong character drama. If you loved Homeland or The Wire, start here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 6 hours in all.
What might put you off
It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

The new President of Switzerland is struggling to free a group of hostages being held in Yemen. She's prepared to do anything to achieve that goal, because even in the most placid country in the world, shady dealings are hatched behind closed doors and political ambitions feed on violence. Until Tina, a cleaning lady at the Federal Palace, throws a monkey wrench into the intricate gears of that political machine.
