Breakers

What is really extraordinary about this series is that it goes completely against the current trend where TV series in general are far superior to the feature films coming out of Hollywood. As impossible as it sounds, BREAKERS has managed to take a series and give it the look and feel of a bad B-movie from the 70s. The casting is bad, the lead actor, who relies a lot on voiceover, has a voice like chalk on a blackboard, the lighting is terrible, the dialog is terrible ... well you get the idea.

Please persevere with this. It's bad at the beginning, almost to the point of being deliberate. The colour is off, the camera work shoddy and sound design unpleasant. As the series progresses, it all gets better. I am trying to work out whether this is deliberate, as if until he 'finds his story' the world is bland and pointless. If this wasn't intentional.... no idea why, but it really does become worth it further in.

Yeah it's another one based on the Groundhog idea, but it comes up with some interesting plot twists and keeps you wanting to watch. Obviously it's low budget but they really do well with what they've got. Worth your time.

The other reviews here make no sense to me. Breakers introduces an entirely new twist to the Groundhog Day canon that I have never seen tackled before. Every episode reveals something new, with suspense building steadily until a perhaps confusing, but definitely intriguing climax. Bring on Season 2!

I'm always in for this type of story to see how they treat the concept and what's different. There's only one difference between this amateur effort and more successful thought-provoking efforts, nothing new is introduced. I suffered through the first episode, but there's nothing to spur me on, at all. The characters are bland and really, pointless. The plot is almost non-existent other than, 'get out of this'. The main character seems to think the scene remains the same, but everyone's actions are different. Uhh.....That's the same in every one of these 'repeating the same 24 hrs' stories! Idk, I probably won't go back bc it seems like they didn't really put much effort in, so why should I?
