8 Days

Gets better from episode to episode. You just have to discuss or think about: would you do the same as the characters? Great classic music. And a lot of fun for people who know Berlin to see the empty burning streets and abandoned places. People who criticise overacting have to think about the most extreme situation of Armageddon.

8 Days is an insight into what happens to people when everything is stripped from them and their focus becomes either survival or acceptance.

This is a remarkably honest, disarming series, that's at one moment sentimental and sad, the next savage and unrelenting. It offers an interesting insight into how different people react to the same essential set of circumstances.

Wonderful acting rounds out a generally strong mini series, that's a hard watch at times but also deeply engrossing.

9/10.

Unlikable characters, low production value, boring and unrealistic. Cheap TV looks.

Don't bother.

I didn't care for any of the characters. Couldn't wait for the meteor to strike.

Really surprised at it's low score, it deserves higher. Fantastic performances by absolutely everyone and showing the human race at it's very best and it's very worst, with a few surprises thrown in along the way. Every emotion known to man is shown in this and in some parts it's totally horrifying. Hopefully we'll never know, but I'd bet that this was a spot on portrayal of what a self serving bunch of treacherous lowlifes we'd all be if these circumstances ever come to pass. Kudos to the actor who played the policeman, his last scene made me cry.

Really struggling to understand why anyone would criticise this series - it's simple a great story with decent acting, realistic characters and provides much food for thought - glimmers of hope whilst experiencing the end. Thoroughly enjoyed. Wow
