The Days

It's a rather quirky show, interested in trying a new approach to a dramatic/comedy type of family storyline that wants to talk about the dynamics of a family as a unit and as individuals. Think "My So Called Life" meets "Joan of Arcadia" type of vibe, with a bit of Disney type humor, ie "Even Stevens." The acting is sometimes awkward, but it works, as the family is a little awkward in its dynamic. It is almost a personality quirk of the show itself. The hour is narrated by 15 year old defunct Cooper Day, the floppy haired, indie music listening middle son who wants to be a writer. He does a good job of injecting humor and irony into the rhythm. It's worth a watch. I enjoyed it's offbeat storytelling.

This show was amazing. I fell in love with it on the night it aired. Don't let anyone tell you anything else. Cooper is the best part of the show and I feel that Evan Peters plays him well. He is an individual with his own true edge that makes the show more realistic. All of the things in the show could really happen which is the scary thing. The music is also well placed. It really sets the mood right away. I love how Cooper Day is really pictured as the odd-ball in the family. We can all relate to that. He is just your typical teenage guy. Which show would put a pot-smoking teenage rocker as their main character? It was about time someone did. The setting of the story also fits well with what"s going on. This is the kind of show that you can imagine yourself in because of the reality. This is a great show but if you don't want to take my advise then watch the show. If you don't like the story-line then I'm sure that you will be just as happy watching Evan Peters for an hour. He is very good looking.

i enjoyed this show, i watched it with my teenage daughter- i would gladly buy the DVD if they were to release the episodes they made- for us this show was right up there with Buffy, Angel, Roswell, Do Over, Wonderfalls, Tru Calling, Touching Evil, Once and Again- there are so many shows that the networks just don't give a chance to shine. we are inundated with reality TV, and shows i often wonder what the appeal is while there are shows that have redeeming value that are canceled (like now- Joan of Arcadia is not picked up again, why because there is a lesson in each episode)~ in the meantime we have the recorded copies so we can enjoy the shows, thank goodness for those since they have not released them yet on DVD. Once more, my 14 yr old daughter and i enjoyed the show, and we both recommend it to those who are not sure what side of the fence they should be on.

I've never been the type of person who can get into a television show (save six feet under). I find it really hard to get into a show because of the fact that I am only 14 years old but 'The Days' got me hooked. I watched it with my sister and my mother every Sunday. I was really disappointed when it got pulled because I thought the show could have really gone places. Evan Peters was very good at playing a moody teenager (though that may have been based on real life) the situations were real and the fact that you had a teenage boy who was almost afraid of sex made it even better. I wish they would have kept the show on longer.

With all of the twisted warped reality shows and sitcoms that are on television, there are few that I deem worthy to watch. The Days just happens to be one of the select few. Even though the plot may be a little over-crowded, it's a breath of fresh air, as opposed to the stupid reality television that everyone obsesses about. The Days has easily relatable characters and elements for everyone to enjoy, and the story plot is easily understood. many teenagers and adults will find themselves having something in common with at least one of the characters, and for those with short attention spans, the show breaks into sub-plots for each character. I would give this show an excellent rating were I a professional, but i think that you'll just have to watch it and rate it for yourself.
