have you watched Day Break before?

I recently discovered that this little-known but well-done sci fi show is available on hulu for free -- all 12 episodes.

anyoen else seen it?

P.S. Ooh, Adam Baldwin's also in this.

Yeah, I did. My friends and I always thought this was cancelled because none of your "typical american viewer" could understand it

I may have to rewatch it to show it to the girlfriend though...

I enjoyed it. I liked the fact that even though events would reset every day, lessons learned could stick between iterations. It allowed for an evolving show, where everything isn't the same, even though you're stuck in a time loop.

And I like that the first season was designed to complete the mystery established in the first episode. I think it's resolution was good, and even if they didn't answer the reason for the loops, I was satisfied.

It was a great show but it think its run was about the right length. It was an entertaining, exciting, self-contained story. A wizard did it.

I caught it on Hulu shortly after it had been canceled, and I bought the DVD set when it was released. Good show. Now if only Journeyman could get a DVD release too...

I actually just re-watched Day Break (on HULU) less than 2 weeks ago!

I always thought the show got shafted in the "fair shake" department, but at least we got to see the 'conclusion' of the first major arc.

In a lot of ways, it reminds me of Journeyman as another great show with a fantastic premise that just wasn't given a chance to find it's footing.

By the time the really interesting revelations started coming down the pipeline, they'd already pulled the show and not yet promised to eventually burn them off at ABC Online's Video Page.

Day Break was by no means a flawless series, but it had enough potential to work with that I would of kept watching.

Especially after that dramatic final scene 'reveal' of "Mr. Clean Shaven, Suit & Tie."

I started watching, but never finished because it got pulled from the schedule. I liked the concept but didn't like that injuries remained into the next cycle.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

Thanks for the heads up. I meant to catch up on it when it first came out, but it was canceled before I got the chance. I'll watch it now.

Day Break amazed me - how did a show that complex ever make it onto TV? It was the total inverse of the usual dumbed-down style of TV, a series that was so complicated that even the main character had trouble following it. I guess it was inevitable that it wouldn't survive, but I admire the effort.

Was a hell of a show.. definitely worth watching

 

[Scout101]

Been meaning to check into this one, never got around to it at the time. Will get on it eventually...

I'm reading conflicting things.

Was the show canceled, or was it meant to be a mini-series...?

(I prefer mini-series, because I think some shows just overstay their welcome).

The Prisoner was a nice 17 episodes, and(interestingly) not every episode really needed to be acknowledged to go from A to Z...

Good to know Day Break is on Hulu; I think ABC had it (and maybe still has) it on the it's site...

One of the many sci-fi shows I'm trying to watch when time allows...(For now, it's ST: TAS)..

 

[DonIago]

I believe it was cancelled but was always intended to have season-long arcs that would always be resolved while leaving other stories open. Sort of like Lost, actually.

Considering how arguably shoddily the show was treated by the network (given the format it was really annoying that they didn't even air the full season), I was rather happy to see it be treated well on DVD. I think every episode has a commentary track with some having multiple commentaries...and they really brought in people from all over the show to talk about it.

 

[Mr Light]

I caught it on DVD... meh. It started out promising but there is nothing I despise more than watching the same events over and over and over again.

 

[Base_Delta_Zero]

One of my favorite series. They laid out their time travel premise and stuck with it. It was smart, funny, exciting and even when things repeated they never quite went the same way each time. Groundhog Day with Moon Bloodgood and gunfights. Diggs was the shit on that show.

They could totally start the show up again, too, if they wanted to. The major actors are all still alive and the plot was concluded, yet ready to open back up.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Too bad Taye Diggs is stuck on that dumb doctor show, I'd like to see him in another sci fi series.

Was the show cancelled, or was it meant to be a mini-series...?

Like many shows, ABC bought 13 episodes and the producers (wisely) decided to shoot all 13 arc episodes at once. When the time came for ABC to pick up the "back-9" to make a 22-episode season they opted out, and had pulled the show anyway.

The Prisoner was a nice 17 episodes, and(interestingly) not every episode really needed to be acknowledged to go from A to Z...

Depending on who you speak to, The Prisoner was cancelled too.

I see...

Interesting...
