Day 5 - Season 1

This is an intriguing apocalyptic thriller. People contract an epidemic disease where they die when they sleep. Survivors try to stay alive by fighting off fatigue and sleep. A group attempts to solve what caused this mysterious event. It's a captivating series with a brilliant premise. The acting is not that great but watchable! Unfortunately finished after two seasons.

**It was a good idea, but wasn't well executed, and left you hanging** I watched this show over 2 days, and the overall idea was interesting. I didn't think the execution was very good though. Even though the actors did good, the story really didn't go anywhere. To make matters worse, it was slowly showing signs of going somewhere, but then it was cancelled abruptly at the end of season 2. Meaning, you are left hanging with no closure, and can only assume that most everyone died a few days later, except for a few people.\ \ All in all your commitment will be wasted on this series, but the idea is still interesting enough to watch for some time until you're bored, so plan an exit before the end!
