Day 5

We have all seen some kind of "End of days" movie or TV show or even a video game. With the causes range from nuclear fallout to zombies to global war to a worldwide pandemic, the list goes on... but what would happen if out of nowhere, sleep... yes, sleep just became lethal... I've been a fan of Rooster Teeth for years, and while they are more known for comedy, this is by far one of the best things they have ever produced. The mystery at start has you questioning what is going on, then the jump to Day 5 of the... whatever you want to call this and seeing what people will do to stay awake is quite interesting. If you like this type of genre, or just curious as to how is this different. I strongly recommend this.

worth 6.8 +.

acceptable low budget.

interesting story.

some scenes are so so cheap or not that well thought But the overall show compensate for those moments.

recommended, I enjoyed this better then the last season of The walking dead.

it like the little brother of Z nation :)

I saw this featured on Tubi so I gave it a shot. I landed up binging both seasons in 3 days. Afterwards I went to look up season 3 and unfortunately I found out it's on indefinite hiatus. That's so disappointing because it's such a refreshingly good series. Yes you have to suspend your belief a bit, but otherwise it's funny, heartwarming, tragic, and intriguing. Great acting, great characters. At least season two wasn't left on too dramatic of a cliffhanger, it just closes one door and opens another.

Here's hoping this series will resume one day :)

Tired of zombies? Me too. Day 5 is a unique and inspired post-apocalypse, its characters slowly tweaking out as they go longer and longer without sleep. Production values are so-so, but much, *much* better than you'd generally see on Youtube; I'd say it's somewhere between Sci-Fi Channel and network TV. The concept is more than enough to make up for the occasional deficits. Sometimes I'm not sure whether something is bad acting or great acting, because people tend to act pretty weird when they've gone without sleep for five days. (Other times, like dream sequences, no, it's just bad acting.) Main characters are all good though.

Part drama, part comedy, but mostly The Odyssey. Infrequent gratuitous boobs, swearing that usually feels natural, some on-screen violence but only when called for.

First season *is* better than the second season, which sometimes felt formulaic. 8 stars for first season, only 6 for the second.

Think Walking Dead back in the time when WD wasn't just a torture show (Neegan). That level of engaging, both characters and story. A really funny show (on a quest for cure for sleep sickness, a dungeons&dragons enthusiast declares, "this is precisely how one feels saving the Earth, I've experienced this emotion three times already"). Just with smaller budget than WD it relies on humour to succeed.

I read in the reviews that it is badly acted. It is acted better than almost any sitcom I've ever seen. And I assume that these guys were paid much, much less. There is enough twists and turns to keep you off your seat. There is the same concept as in W D that major characters die off, same type of worldbuilding and character development.
