For every decision, there’s a consequence.
Day Break is the most anticipated mid-season show this fall, at least for me. And til now, it has lived up to my expectations. ABC started to air previews a month prior to its premiere. At first, some mistook it as a movie, but then the anticipation was built up gradually with a bit revelation every time.
I wanted to watch this show partly because I’m intrigued by how they’re gonna make this story into a series. I have no doubt it’d be a great storyline for a movie, but how are they going to keep the audience watching for several weeks? Some mentioned about Groundhog Day; however, the series reminds me more of Tru Calling. But the difference between them is, Tru has a mission to “save” people and the “longest” day Tru ever had only repeated 4 times, and Brent… even he himself lost count by now.
I’ll say they manage to keep the suspense and variety good enough. I especially like the way they named each episodes, all started with What if’s, and every episode follow a theme. What If They Run, What If He Lets Her Go, What If He Can Change the Day and so on.
It’s a freaking shame that they pulled the show. (I guess it’s partly my fault >< I've never watched it when it's aired on TV. I always catch it few days later on ABC website.) But I'm kinda used to it by now, with Eyes and Related and all the others that were cancelled. However, it's a 13-episode mini-series, why can't you just air them all? Now that the chance for them to release DVD is rather slim, I'm gonna "low key" all the episodes if possible, as I did plan to watch them more than once. Yikes. ps.
