Review of The Days

The Days (2004)
Quirky, different...but enjoyable.
27 July 2004
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.
