Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for action fans and families. If you loved Percy Jackson and the Olympians, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, episodes of about 50 minutes, about 7 hours in all.
What might put you off
Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.

Following an outrageous bet, Fogg and his valet, Passepartout, take on the legendary journey of circumnavigating the globe in just 80 days, swiftly joined by aspiring journalist Abigail Fix, who seizes the chance to report on this extraordinary story.
