The Days

When I first saw a preview for the days I thought, oh great another dumb over-dramatic T.V. show just like the rest. Since I had nothing better to do I watched it and was surprised, I loved it!!! It has a different air to it yet it keeps viewers interested. This show is probably my favorite show of all time.

ABC left us hanging with the last episode and I am dying to know what happens next. Here is the basis for the show. The Days is a normal American family, you know, Mom, Dad, 3 kids. They also struggle with normal family problems, with some abnormalities. I'm not going to ruin what happens for everyone so I will not reveal much more. I really wish ABC would bring back the days because in my opinion, it blows Rodney and whatever other shows they have out now away by a mile. I would recommend this show to anyone who loves a good drama~

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.

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.

the one and only season has just aired here in Australia and i thought it was absolutely brilliant! i love it! all the story lines are so good! and its a much more realistic view on teen and family life today. yet it still kept strong family values of sticking together and being there for each other. their problems were real, and it really drew you into the show. the show is basically about this family called 'the Days' and their lives. the family consisted of Abby Day (mum), Jack Day (dad), Natalie Day (sporty daughter), Cooper Day (outsider son), and Nathan Day (boy genius son). each episodes a day of their life, with coopers perspective on things throughout it. i loved cooper his insight through out the show was just great. he was by far my favorite character. it ended with so many things it could've continued with, I'm really sad another season wasn't made. it was a great show I'm gonna miss it.
