The series is inspired by the Ankh-Morpork City Watch from the Discworld series of fantasy novels by Terry Pratchett. Set in the fictional Discworld’s principal city of Ankh-Morpork, The Watch was described by Terry Pratchett in 2012 as a Pratchett-style CSI; it was to have an episodic storyline, following the format of a crime of the week as tackled by the city’s police force under the command of Sam Vimes.
