Daybreak

It's not completely original and it's based on a book but it's a good show. People that only watched 1 or 2 episodes shouldnt be allowed to rate a series. Its ridiculous given the fact a show can find its footing midseason. This show is relevant and pretty comical. The production value is awesome as well. I cant speak too much without spoilers but I say give it a chance past 2 episodes. It's a fun show with a promising cast. I can only imagine where it goes next season.

Daybreak the dystopian future where life is like high school from hell after a blast kills almost everyone over 18. Told in the style of Ferris Bueller's day off even staring Matthew Broderick, the original Ferris. With the adults all gone, the teenagers have divided themselves into clan type groups along their old high school social groups. Josh is a loner, and a big pop culture fan. The series is full of little pop culture Easter eggs that add to an already fun watch. High school meets mad max. Highly recommend for a break from the usual gloomy end of the world drama.

Immediately, you're thrusted into a Ferris Bueller world mixed with a Mad Mad & The Warriors. I am seeing a lot of people turning it off after a few minutes, throwing politics or judging based off their personal beliefs. Not giving this show a chance, because something triggered them.

The show follows Josh Wheeler, a newly transferred student who finds love and when the apocalypse hits, Josh is on the trail to find his love. A bunch of former students, are also on his tail and have now cliques up once again in a gangland scenario to survive and find Josh Wheeler.

The films pulls tons of homages to films like (previously said) Ferris Bueller, Mad Max, The Warriors & subtle quotes and shots to Goodfellas, Kill Bill & more! With violence and language that could be seen in a Deadpool flick, it's a fun absurd black comedy that is fun to loose yourself in.

Put your must be an A+, HARD hitting stories and twists to the side. Drop your political views and whatever issues you have with today's problems, realizes it's an absurd fiction that centers on an almost Zombie like show & have some fun. Because "life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Or in Josh's case "it will eat you."

Look, it isn't breaking bad or GOT but it is a very decent time killer. Made me laugh at least twice an episode. I enjoyed the frequent breaking of the fourth wall, the gross humour and expectation flipping.

I'm not sure why this has such a low rating, but this is a heap of fun. Really tight writing, direction and character development makes "Daybreak" a must watch for anyone who loves their dark comedy.
