Synopsis

After a fortuitous drug bender saves his life, addict Jake ventures out into the quiet streets… unaware that most of the world already died in their beds. Now, battling sleepless fatigue and encroaching delirium, Jake teams with a scrappy teenager, overnight doctor and red-eye pilot to search for answers… and just maybe find a way to sleep again.

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Alfred Smith It's ironic that the premise of this show is that suddenly people are dying everywhere when they sleep. So basically stay awake to stay alive. Biggest problem is the show is so bad you will have trouble staying awake whilst watching it. Boring story line, bad acting and a cheap overall feel to the production all add up to make this series one to avoid.
Rob_Taylor Day 5 is a post-apocalyptic TV series with the simple premise that if you fall asleep, you die. Hence the title which is a reference to the time people can stay awake without dying.The characters in the show resort to all kinds of ways to keep themselves awake including drug abuse, self-harm and so on. That, in itself, may put some people off, but the increasingly desperate nature of the characters makes the show as interesting and dynamic as it is.It isn't, of course, a big budget show. However, that works in its favour in so much as a lack of effects and big stars means the focus is more on the story and the characters, which is something that is often lacking from TV shows these days.The characters are diverse not so much in gender or ethnicity, but in morals and behaviour. What is more is that these characters are forced together by the circumstances they find themselves in, leading to some interesting dynamics and some great character moments.Of course, it isn't just about the characters trying to stay awake. There is a meta-plot hanging over the show involving the cause of the sleep epidemic and the characters eventually search for a cure (or at least just somewhere they can sleep safely).Given the title, I wondered how long it would be before the show introduced a macguffin to allow the characters to sleep and I wasn't disappointed. However, it was done in a far better way than most such plot devices and didn't in any way lessen the threat of falling asleep inadvertently.All in all, I'm favourably impressed with the show. Now, at the end of season 2, we have seen quite a bit of the characters backstories and the plot has moved along rather nicely - not too slow, not too fast. It has had its humorous moments as well as its grimmer, darker times. For those interested, it is no where near as grim as The Walking Dead, for example, but it is far more enjoyable than that show has recently become and much better paced.I would recommend it to fans of the post-apocalyptic, survivor genre. The mix of darker and lighter moments, along with the character development make it a breath of fresh air compared to some of the stale old crap we get thrown at us.SUMMARY: Enjoyable, off-the-wall post-apocalyse tale. Good character writing and a focus on the characters rather than the plot make it a worthwhile watch for fans of this genre.
bandito worth 6.8 +.acceptable low budget.interesting story.some scenes are so so cheap or not that well thought But the overall show compensate for those moments.recommended, I enjoyed this better then the last season of The walking dead.it like the little brother of Z nation :)
johnelfrik I found this show here when i was looking for shows to watch and i was very surprised at how good it was. First off it is a Film about the End of everything with a nice twist. When i read the reviews i was a bit skeptical because everyone was saying about the end of Humand kind but it's all living things which makes it different on it's own. Then the problem of trying to find a solution while not Sleeping and getting more and more tired. The only thing that bothered me was the talk of how to stop the Virus, seriously any idiot should know that there is no way it could be a Virus as it happened all over the Planet at the exact same time and it would be impossible to create a Time activated Virus it has to be some kind of signal or Pulse. If you want to watch a Show where the Acting is actually quite good and the story is well written then this is the one it is one of the best Shows i have watched in the last few Months.
