Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. It's a fun, tight little action-adventure series developed exclusively for Peacock bringing together some old and new faces. Peacock may have a hit on their hands. Hopefully it gets future seasons.

I've never seen Days of Our Lives but thought I'd check this one out because I like the silly guilty pleasures of soap operas.

I admire the writers for soaps. The fact they can keep the storylines going for ages when most issues can be resolved by asking the correct question 2 seconds later intrigues me. As someone who knows nothing about these characters going in, the writers have done a good job in bringing viewers up to speed in the character vignettes of the first episode.

My 7-star rating is for the acting being pretty bad; I expected a little better. This is a soap opera so if you don't have ability to get past watching a soap, you probably won't enjoy this.

If you're a soap opera fan this will be a silly pleasure to watch with your favorite snack and tune out of life for about 50 minutes.

The storyline of season 1 is fun and I'll keep watching it for the campy-ness, hoping the acting improves.

Drag queens & flaming! Leo is the funniest character on Days, though a bunch of others have better lines than they usually do. This show has been way more fun than real Days has been in a long time. No whining, a story line that's improbable but moves along fast, and maybe sex scenes that go on for a bit too long, but feature gay and straight. I'm sorry it's limited - I hate the thought of only having draggy Days to watch.

I did not expect to like this show, as many of the other reviews stated. I've been left actually wanting to see more!! NBC/Peacock please order more episodes of this show, quickly! Here's to more "Beyond Salem," soon, at least I hope. 😊

This is everything I wanted it to be. I couldn't be happier watching this. Love seeing old favorite characters and actresses that use to play favorite characters. If you have been watching DOOL since you were a kid with your Nana like me, this is TV GOLD. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
