Review of The Days

The Days (2023)
7/10
Decent recreation of Fukushima disaster
3 June 2023
There are many good moments in this series, capturing the panic, sacrifices and deliberations that followed the Fukushima disaster. The heroic actions of the team is in plain view, along with the emotional impact on each character.

But that's also part of the problem. By episode six, I was becoming distracted because it seemed that every conversation, every event, every calamity is burdened by long periods of the characters thinking and ruminating.

I see the point of depicting the life or death decisions resulting in an almost shock but the overuse of silences becomes an irritant.

Otherwise, worth a look.
