The series pits trolls, werewolves, wizards and other improbable heroes against an evil plot to resurrect a great dragon, which would lead to the destruction of life as they know it. The City Watch, an unlikely group of misfits, finds the guts to save the world, surprising even themselves in the process.

The eight-part series centers on a group of misfit cops as they rise up from decades of helplessness to save their corrupt city from catastrophe. Set in the fictional city of Ankh-Morpork, where crime has been legalized, The Watch is a "punk rock" drama.
