The Days (2004)
Another kind of "Camden"
17 August 2004
Sick and tired of having to watch a "family drama" that is supposed to be like "a real family" where it's everything but real and, most horribly, the messages given are wrong, awful and dangerous ? Watch "The Days", it's the new kind of drama that sucks even more... Here are the basis of the show : "So I am a father of a great American family with a big house, intelligent kids and a modern wife who works more than I do. Everything's perfect ! Except that one day I decided "oh f... it, my job sucks, don't think that 'I'm rich, bitch!' but still decide to quit". Unfortunately it's the same day that I learn that MY wife is pregnant and my daughter too ! Oooh, I can't really catch a break... So instead of yelling at my kid to tell her : "what the f... have you been doing ? with who ? do you really want to f... up your life ?" I tell her : "I support everything you'll decide [even if it's clear that you don't even know what to do with your life yet and... yet, you're about to make a decision that will change it forever]". (advice for the writers : watch Claire on Six Feet Under to know what life is when you're a pregnant teenager...) So that sucks a lot but hey, I'm a responsible unemployed father and husband ! So when I found out my wife is pregnant, I don't panic, I don't find right away another job to support my wife and kids, I don't even try, no ! I just take time to figure out what I want to do with my life... Because, obviously, that is what a REAL father would do...

Another point : the directing of the series. What the f... is that style ?? The obnoxious constant zooms. Note to directors : kinda make the audience sick...
