Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem

Really wished they stretched it out to 8 episodes or more. Days should really bring Will and new Sonny back to Salem. Chad really played his part well. If Days were smart, they would make sure Ben and Ciara sign on for another 3 to 5 years.

It would be fun to go Beyond Salem a few times a year. For Hallowe'en they could start out as the current characters, then change them to the stars that previously played them. Sean played by Jason Cook. Abby by Kate Mansi...etc. And bring back a few dead characters. Would love to see Nick, Jordan and others again.

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. 😊

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.

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.
