I really enjoyed "8 Days". From the first episode the story pulls you in with interesting characters (albeit mostly unworthy of survival), and the eager anticipation of who will survive the impending holocaust. I felt the pacing was pretty good, good enough for me to watch all 8 episodes in 2 days! Yes, there were quite a few silly inconsistencies, and some completely unrealistic things going on if the end of the world is nigh. Still, the series holds you in suspense and makes you think about what you might do in a similar scenario. I did feel that the climax was a bit of a let down. I mean where's the KABOOM! No devastation, no CGI destruction, NADA. Maybe they're saving that for episode one of the second season - I hope so.
Watch it on a rainy weekend.
