...you all do know it’s fine that you loved the show and I didn’t right? It’s fine to disagree on a show. Also as I said, the show isn’t terrible but it also isn’t incredible.
I found this show fit nicely into the niche of shows I watch on monitor 2 while I do something that requires only partial attention on monitor 1.
I loved the show because I like the satirical type comedy it has. However I don't care if other people like it or not, and I don't understand why people get angry if you don't like a show.
Edit: your video made me remember all of the shitty parts of the show so now it's just mediocre to me
Gods forbid! A different opinion!! THE HORROR!!! 😱
I think your analysis matched the same type of "wtf am I watching" thought process that I would have had. Except, your video saved me from having to suffer through watching bad TV. I'm glad I watched.
You're wrong and you're entitled to your wrong opinion
Why are white girls in adventure shows named "Sam" ALL THE TIME.
Its hip
OR JESSIE
@Gmoney 12 when I think Sam I think blonde
𝙾𝚛 '𝙰𝚕𝚎𝚡'
Cause its a "tomboyish" name. Can be girly and actiony
He has Canadian survival skills
Why do I not have access to these skills
Didn't drink enough maple syrup?
More maple syrup ,opens up the skill tree eventually no worries
Lone Boomkin I was about to make that joke 🤣
@@user-fq4hj8yv2z I'll drink a few more gallons
Maple syrup. Also (and mostly) clubbing baby seals, and eating seal brains. It's the pastime Canadians rarely talk about, but yeah, we love clubbing baby seals and eating their fat juicy brains.
There's definitely some good ideas in there. I especially like the idea of zombies repeating the last thing they were thinking, that's very unsettling
Or like she said do more with wesley that could actually go somewhere
Movies like this are the worst good ideas with poor presentation
you could have gone so far with that idea but they all just had “discount sweatpants” plastered on their forehead
it could have been so unsettling if they found an adult that someone cares about and the last thing they were thinking was something about said person
heres an example
the gang is wandering around the wasteland and they get caught in a zombie horde
all of the others are fighting the zombies but [insert literally any main character here] is petrified looking at a zombie
all the others are shouting at them and then they look over at the zombie and its muttering the characters name over and over again
they realize it is that characters mother/father
THAT would be an interesting scene that would make that unnecessary detail
something deliberate and horrifying
If you read the manga "I Am a Hero" you'll see that very concept was done there first. It's a verry good read if you love weird zombies taking place in Japan
"I Am A Hero" did it first
Just imagine a zombie running at you screaming "my lord and savior jesus christ, hear my prayer and let me rejoin you in heaven!!"
The stuff with Wesley and Turbo sounds fucking awesome. I would watch that show. A pacifist samurai whose ex is a psychotic mute gang leader. They love each other but can never be together. Give me that show.
oh I agree
After I watched the full series, I noted which episodes they had their best scenes in and basically just rewatched those a few times before moving onto the next show lol 😅 I also read some decent fanfic about them, but there's not much going 😞 can't imagine why 🤔
It's a decent show I mean considering Netflix usually goes one out of 10 when it comes to good shows I'm surprised they did this well
@@doctorwholover1012 Are we the same person? I did the exact same thing. Sadly there is not a lot of fanfiction of them
Wes the gay samurai pacifist. This is the greatest thing I've ever heard in my life holy shit
He was a goddamn misopportunity, like imagine a story about a gay pacifist samurai that’s trying to redeem himself in a zombie apocalypse. That shit would’ve been lit, but nah. Here’s a dumb romance between miss perfect and incel boy
Everyone's like Netflix is pushing the gay agenda and I'm like if they really were he would have been the focus of the show and it would have been an in arguably better show. Netflix is being stupid all the time, but currently especially about gay people, but that star-crossed lovers story deserved to be the show. Because each character was actually a great character that deserved a greater look at their character development so the individuals themselves were great and then also the Star-Crossed lovers story mixed with an apocalypse is just so good
@@sunwukong3108 Most homosexual relationships in Ancient Japan took the form of pedastry, and it's a bit more complicated than that. The practice in Japan was similar to that of Ancient Greece. Basically, young (teenage or even prepubescent) boys in relationships with older men, with the idea being the younger male was fulfilling a submissive/feminine/mentee 'role' and the older man a dominant/masculine/mentor role. Being 'bottom' in a relationship was viewed as highly emasculating and adult men were not seen as acceptable partners for other adult men, in a way we'd now consider to be pretty homophobic (the best analogue is how male-on-male sex in prison is talked about).
So...yeah...kinda pretty paedophilic and homophobic. Sexuality was something do you did, not something you were, so even describing people as gay or straight is a bit anachronistic.
That sounds like something a tumblr user would come up with
bruh imagine being gay
I hated Daybreak, not because of the show but they filmed it at my school and it was stupid they got mad at students for going to school on a school day.
that’s really messed up lol
Wtf they didnt stop school for a day lol
No They Didn’t They Cant Do That
Catt D lol
What school is it?
This show was supposed to be like a “woke” high school zombie thing yet they made Mona Lisa just the subservient, stereotypical angry black girl.. that was her role the ENTIRE show
Jaden Oh yeah. She was just crazy for no reason. I think they planned to flesh her out if they had another season to maybe explain why she is the way she is.
Isn’t the “angry black girl” character not supposed to subservient? The stereotype goes for quite the opposite actually.
@@ioncekilledamanwithmyshoe she some how manages to be both. She has to be subservient to turbo for most of it but gets randomly pissed off at everyone else.
And apparently the whole incel dynamic which seems to be core to the show.
No no no, theyre empowering these people by "reclaiming" stereotypes, and wearing them as badges of honor. Just like their favorite heroes, Snowflake and Safespace. 😂🤮
Okay, even if the most popular, pretty girl from my school came up to me and told me I have "fierce cleavage", my response would be more of " Wtf, I don't even know you ". So I'm with Mona Lisa.
I think even if one of my closest friends commented on my cleavage, it’d be super weird and awkward. That’s just not a thing people ... say.
same tbh. probably cause i’m a guy but same
When adults write teen shows/movies, I always pretend it's a satire. I live by that.
I think I will follow this path of life as well
Adults write everything
It suddenly becomes a comedy when the teens open their mouths and it's 100% cringe and or trendy topics from 2 years ago.
That’s a healthy hill to die on. I’ll join you
That felt right when I started watching this show.
The whole “no supervision= no morals” is another dead give away that the show was written by a bunch of old guys.
Lawd of the flies.
Well there were the tribe before
I think that's a workaround of Dawson Casting.
@@BIayne morality isn't inherent it needs to be taught, and culturally religion is invested with the morals we like. Atheists have their morality set from our Judeo-christian culture.
I believe the Stanford prison experiment proves how fast people go crazy and abuse power
the kids in these types of shows NEVER mourn its so strange
Which would work if it was campier and more self aware rather than being Mad Max Riverdale
Agree, but this show literally spent an entire episode to show how the death of Josh's dad really affected him and his relationship with Sam
@@sonicbelmont300 kind of like Scream Queens, the show was campy enugh to get away with it
Ivy Wolk um,if you were in a situation like this-you'd have to (no offence) probably mourn on YOUR downtime,even with all the post-apocolyptic survival shiztski you gotta go through and all,no lie dammit..
@@sharonspears-mandeville2369 what? i think what you're trying to say is you would mourn on your own time and not in front of people. even with that, don't you think that at least ONE of these kids would have some type of breakdown? we literally never see any of these kids cry over their dead parents (in front of people or on their own time) even though none of them hold any reasonable grudge against parents. it seems like a major aspect that was overlooked.
Ok but like... the mother-daughter bond between Angelica and Ms. crumble made me very emotional
That was such a good part of the show honestly
that was the only part of the show i loved
That's the reason why I continue watching it
If his mouth bleeds whenever he talks, wouldn't kissing hurt him? Also he definitely should have that looked at
Yeah other dude got a mouthful of blood presumably too
Wait how would kissing affect his vocal chords
@@Ociloc I just figured it was any time he opens his mouth, but you have a point. Still, he better be good and quiet about making out
...how...How exactly does that work-Does that kid got mouth sores or something? (Never watched the show,sorry.)
Avery Clevername EW. Hope that kid isn't/ain't a hemophiliac/has got a blood disorder and/or disease,then he'd be screwed don'tcha know?
This had to be somebody's Walking Dead fan fiction that Netflix found on Wattpad.
It's based on a comic, but it's an even less faithful adaptation than World War Z.
@@ryanhall7607 Oh wow, I didn't know that. Do you know if the graphic novel/comic is any good?
@@mxmissy It's fine. The most unique thing about it is that it's in second person.
I've read fanfics better than this, because they're usually written by teens who know how teens work and talk unlike adults who just throw in random slang
@@scarlettTG2704 Yeah. Plus, the stories can be returned to and reworked on.
One of my professors in college was the artist who made the graphic novel this was based on! The book is literally nothing like the show. It’s a story in first-person view where the reader is the main character and a one-armed character helps them in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It’s a good read and it was nominated for an Eisner award. Highly recommend
Is it of the graphic novel of the same name same name
@@salamatusuleiman2393 They don’t just share a name, it’s the exact novel the show was based off. He actually talked to us about the adaptation in class. He’s mostly just glad he got paid lol, he says he just considers the adaptation its own thing. Which I’m glad because otherwise he’d probably be super disappointed in how it came out. Completely different. But yes, they do share a name, the comic is also called Daybreak.
@@swarple brian ralph
@@twerkingsanta Yep! Brian Ralph. I took a couple classes where he was my professor.
@@swarplethe novel needed a videogame, not a Netflix show imo
It started off okay with it being heavily influenced by ferris bueller's day off especially with Matthew Broderick appearing, Went of the rails really fast after that though
Yeah. I actually really really liked it at first and was so hyped about it that it's hard to say that I didn't "loved the show" especially since I binge watched it. The last episodes definitely weren't really there, I remember having a hard time paying attention and I barely remember what happens in them but it's hard to be objective because I really loved it a lot at the start and my lasting impressions of it (especially when there's so much content on Netflix that you just go from one show to the next) is that feeling from the first couple of episodes.
@A G If you're writing a show, and you're not guaranteed to get a second season. Don't write prepared for another season to explain things
Zachary Critten well the writers came out and said they they did believe they were going to get a second season. It came as a random surprise that the show was being canceled. They were even already beginning writing preparations for the second season
"Has Canadian survival skills"
"They survived because they got the HPV vaccine"
*immediate flashback to vaccine day at my middle school*
Must be nice to live in a place where people belidve in vaccines lol
The Wesley story line sounds so much more interesting than the main character and his girlfriend
I love and hate Wesley
I watched one episode. It was the most "how do you do fellow kids?" thing I've ever seen in my life.
Best meme
Especially that Overwatch reference, cause they then show how they seem to have no idea how things like games or the internet work.
Everything is destroyed and yet the internet survived, or at least the part that still allows people to play online shooters and watch vlogs.
And the online shooter/vlog thing really annoys me because they mention they are apparently still playing with people around the world and the vlog videos are uploaded to a site, they clearly still have communication with other survivors and yet not only is it being wasted it's never even brought up as something they could use them for.
Yeaaah... whenever Josh talks it's like that, but later on you don't really feel it
Golf team was criminally underrepresented in this rant
Yeah, they were one of my favorite parts of the show.
Basically the best part of the season
I was pretty sad when the show was cancelled because I really enjoyed the editing
I kinda like the background music a lot lol
I liked the budgeted version of the fight in the mall
I just wanted to see more Wesley, shame
Oh I watched the first three episodes w my boyfriend and really liked the style of this series!! The post apocalyptic world was so interesting and wesley was the funniest character for me. But I could not make it past the episode where sam asked josh to film her complimenting random classmates in the mall to see their ‘real smile’ or wtv. Like if she was genuinely nice why would she film it? His perception of her as some dream girl was so annoyingggg especially when she was ‘the girl that everyone likes but somehow doesn’t think she fits in and doesn’t care about what anyone thinks’.
Lol yeah and the whole her being a “slut” or sleeping around thing was so ??? Like why her character was so confusing. Like all her actions didn’t seem to connect at all especially the ending
yeah my gf didn't mind but i didn't really like it I saw the errors
in terms of filming it, maybe the motivation is that you can show everyone how happy people get when you compliment them and do something nice for them without reason and how good that feels. it’s like filming yourself giving food and luxuries to poor or homeless people. just because you’re filming it doesn’t mean you’re not doing a nice thing, and it might motivate people to do acts of kindness
she's not like any other girls
Honestly, by the end of the season the stuff that made adult me go "oh God why?" made sense. Definitely a very meh show, but Wesley, Turbo, and the music really made up for it.
I’ve never heard of this show but I was still so excited to click on this video.
Same.
Same, never even heard of this until I seen the video
That's me with most Swell videos. have no idea what she's talking about and she's my first point of entry
Wesley would of been the main character... if he wasn’t black. Soo dad and true. BLM
The show is the most creative, flexible, and "not satisfied with the formula" live action show I've seen since Community & Arrested Development - PLEASE watch! 😂
Finally somebody talking about how subpar this show was. I mean, I watched and was entertained by it but, it was like watching something you know is trashy and just accepting it.
EXACTLY
Alright, Ima just say it:
Ned's Declassified Apocalypse Survival Guide.
That's why I loved this show :( so sad it isn't getting a 2th season
Y wasn't that made?
Greenlight season 2 just to recast with the O.G. Ned's cast.
The first episode gave that vibe but immediately after they dropped it.
Netflix at any show that isn't Stranger Things or 13 Reasons Why: y'all hear sumn?
When "What Happened to Monday" came out, I watched it like the next day. Yet the featured trailer on my Netflix account was "What Happened to Monday" until LAST MONTH. IDK if it was a glitch or what, but well over two years of the same trailer every time I logged on to Netflix, which is at least every other day. What really confused me was that it was a movie I'd seen? I'd understand more if it was a movie they thought I'd love that I didn't watch, but I watched it immediately lol
Hana'a F. LMFAOOOOO STOPPP
@Hans Hanzo Lucifer* if you are either not familiar the with the comic or if you are familiar with the comic and willing to treat it as its own entity entirely divorced from the comic it's supposed to be based on.
Into the knights a pretty good Netflix show
@Brazilian Goddess your classic list is Netflix original though
I kinda liked that Josh’s whole motivation was looking for Sam because it’s sort of a criticism of the “damsel in distress” or “girl is the reward for saving the day” kind of thing, but it’s definitely been done better in other places. I’m just saying the fact that he’s been looking for Sam even though they dated for only two weeks is kind of the point, it’s his “quest” (even though it’s unrealistic)
If they had cut Josh's character as a whole and shifted Wesley to the front, then I feel like Daybtrak would've been more a stylized hit.
I felt like I was watching the Cameron Dallas movie
His character was the best. The way he delivered his lines was funny af too.
K3L yeah it was just the intro that was cringe but everything else was okay
Westley was the best. I do think that the point of Josh being a bigass incel was kinda the point.
@@lola2873 I agree, the beginning was terrible but I wanted to be nice.
Seems like Wes IS the main character and josh is just the vehicle for the audience
Josh's narration was so annoying and pointless and trying to be Zombieland and Scott Pilgrim but this ain't 2010 sweety
That's how I felt from the start, was immediately more interested in the world
and then they practically cut him out the show in the last half
"he awkward and bad at talking to girls" did you mean every teen boy in these types of shows ever?
I could be a main character
Amanda: Our main character is Josh, he's a high school student
(clip plays)
Me: lol sure
How do you do fellow kids?
I haven’t seen this show but the gay pacifist samurai is my favorite
Edit 14/9/2020: yooo I got top comment that’s so poggers
I watched the show and gay samurai pacifist is indeed my favourite
U should watch it
He was pretty decent, shame the character won't be back
His episode was the most interesting in my opinion
Look I'm not gonna spoil it for you but his focus episode has to be seen to be believed.
I watched this whole thing and kinda enjoyed it but I HATED Josh so much.
Y because he was initially solely focused on finding his love interest?
Then shouldn't you hate Wes for being with a psychotic murder hobo but that's fine that's healthy cause they r both gay?
@@user-fq4hj8yv2z I never said I liked their relationship lol, it’s not healthy and all but I don’t hate Wes. He’s got a personality, unlike josh who’s kinda just the main character..
@Me Bitch same loll
Same lol-
I lowkey relate to Angelica
The show was fine but I hated the love interest. She was the worst and then her episode was by far the most useless, awful, and boring thing ever.
I Need A Name I do not know about her episode being useless, but I think her being the worst was the point. She was not what he imagined her to be and showed signs of being “imperfect” before the finale.
She was a manic pixie dream girl but the thing is towards the end of the show she makes it clear that she isn’t who he thinks she is.
What's strange is the fact that in the original book (and supposedly in the first few episodes), the main character is actually speaking to an actual person that he meets, and that you are supposed to fill in the shoes. But later on in the show, that motif is abandoned, and you, the audience, are almost forgotten about.
What's the name of the book

That part about Josh's mom only talking to him through post-it notes was the perfect opportunity for an Ed, Edd n Eddy reference (Edd's parents only talk to him through post-it notes in the show) since they were referencing stuff like Pokemon cards and Overwatch, but they didn't take up on it sadly
Oh really? I don't remember that oh, that could have been cool
It’s also made by a Canadian studio… Josh is Canadian… They could have made a joke about Canadian Squirt Guns (turkey basters) as a subtle nod.
That’s all I could think about during that part lol
@@isaacevilman7586 "Canadians are weird!" -Ed
So he can't talk without blood coming out of his mouth... but making out is totally fine ?
I feel bad for Wes with a mouthful of blood now, ew
Arai eww.. Hope he ain't no hemophiliac though. Ewh.
So after watching the series and asking around I have figured out why turbo can't talk or when he talks his mouth bleeds
So when the bomb dropped turbo was pretty close to the one of the blast zones which explains why turbo's whole right side of his face is burned and completely scratched up and when humans are exposed to a severe amount of radiation it can burn you lungs and a whole fuck ton of vital organs so if my theory is correct turbo can't talk due to severe radiation from when the bomb dropped and when he talks his mouth starts to bleed because the radiation burned his lungs causing his lungs to fill with blood... now since this a TV show he is fine.... however in real life the minute his lungs would fill with blood he would choke to death on his own blood..... this tv show straight up said fuck logic
hahah this makes me think he's just talking into their mouth
@@genericgaming5293 Holy fucking shit
Tbh I liked it, but it's kinda like if a boomer stereotype wrote about millennial stereotypes, with the same outlook on school that they had in the 80s and 90s.
😂👏 👏 👏
Yeah it def had potential, too bad it was canceled
Yeah, nothing about it really rubs me the wrong way except for the dialogue, except for Eli and Principal (lastname)/Baron Triumph, who are both described as cringy as their dialogue suggests that they arw
Boomers are in their 60s and Millennials are in their 30s. Personally, I think it sounds more like Gen X writing about Gen Z, with the same outlook on school that they had in the 80s and 90s.
@@jacksyoutubechannel4045 Sorry for the confusion, didn't mean literal. Just the overblown stereotypes as if they had come to life.
Imagine an alternate universe where the dialogue and characters were all well written.
We could’ve had a lovable dork teaming up with a gay samurai and a pyromaniac 10 year old on a classic hero’s journey.
*IT COULD’VE BEEN SO GOOD.*
This show was better than marketed, but definitely not...great. A second season with a perspective shift could have made it really good though.
I was kind of into the idea of their being a second season (even though the twist with Sam was just the absolute worst). Actually, scratch that I was excited. Besides Josh and Sam, I liked a lot of the characters despite the vomit worthy amount of cringe.
Honestly, have Josh get mowed down in a big battle in the first episode of season 2, and have it switch to KJs perspective, she was a much cooler character who had a relatively blank slate. Could've made for an interesting character
Netflix is it’s own worst enemy when advertising their own shows because they just dump it whenever they want.
Honestly I really liked the twist ending with Sam Dean bc they did a ton of foreshadowing that she had issues with ambition and power, and that's one of the reasons she was a "principal's pet". The entire theme is that Josh couldn't see her flaws, which makes it satisfying when we see how truly power hungry she is. Josh is a self centered asshole who spends the entire series trying to convince the audience that the show is about him, that he's the main character, and the show is so much better if you don't believe him.
Personally Sam kinda annoyed me. Josh may be an asshole but Sam is also kinda annoying. Also we gonna took about how the other kids just bow down to anyone
damn that's the best analogy of this show
Agreed!
The show is a 100 times better without Josh.
The only issue there is about that, is how no one calls out Sam's bullsh*t at the end. The rest of the characters become an unanimous mass that accept her as a leader with no valid reason. No matter how lost they may be at the time, there's way too little they know about Sam at that time to blindly follow her in a survival setting.
The only time I heard about this show is when my dad told me to watch it, don’t think he was the target audience but man is he mad about no S2
my dad too
That’s hilarious that your dads like shows about high schoolers. I bet they love outer banks too, the difference is that’s actually a pretty good show with an obvious story arch unlike this show.
AFAIK the comics tell the story further.
@@mscookie3613 actually my dad loves outer banks and keeps bugging me to finish it lol
Wesley is the best character no contest
And that's sad to say but that's the whole reason I loved this show. They made the "stereotypical" sidekick character being black and gay and made him the most likable, badass and admirable character in the whole show and honestly I really do believe they did it on purpose and I really loved that.
His episode was a masterpiece
Shut up Wesley!
Laureen Berger He’s like the only good character.
This is such a good concept but it’s so poorly executed
Agreed! I was to write a story or something with that concept but better and not with Sam or Josh or anything annoying or the bad things in it! It’s such a good concept where you could explore how high schoolers and kids are and society and stuff.

@@SwellEntertainment I know! I wanted more mall and less of the whole Sam drama. In my opinion, it would have been way cooler of a story to see their tribe form and go through growing pains while stuck in the mall

The first half of the walking dead was pretty good, but I didn’t like the later seasons. I’m not sure about the comics, though. I assume they are better.
I also kind of like “walkers.” I’m pretty sure TWD was one of the first stories to have a different name for zombies, so it’s kind of fine.
@@peppinoandweskerfriendsfor3450 i have watched the first 4 or 5 seasons and read most of the comics. I read them on readcomiconline. If u do use that website, there are some ads not for younger viewings.
I would agree but I love the Maze Runners to much
I watched this and while it didnt hold my interest for most of it. I enjoyed Wesley and Turbo. Wesley would've 100% been a better main character. I wouldve enjoyed the show more without any Sam and Josh. Their "relationship" was never something to root for? So what was it all for? Also KJ and Mona Lisa deserved better. This show had good side characters that were far more interesting than the main character that is all.
Josh and Sam definitely sound like a high school relationship
They aren't making a season 2 because they're already giving Wesley the Gay Pacifist Samurai his own spin-off 😌🗿
Another case of "every one else in the show is more interesting than the main character you're stuck with"
The best jokes were the golf team ones. Terry, Larry, Gary, Jerry and Barry.
Oh wait, now it’s just Larry, Gary, Jerry and Barry.
But hey, maybe they can make it into Larry, Gary, Jerry, Barry... and Wesley.
Crap, now it’s only Gary, Jerry and Barry.
Oh no, it’s just Jerry and Barry.
Never mind, now it’s just Barry.
NO WAIT, NOW IT’S BARRY AND MARY!
This show had some great bits hidden in the campyness.
The “narrator” character changing in some episodes was really good too, and that got skipped over here. I really enjoyed the one episode that starts and suddenly Turbo is just talking (communicating?) at camera and telling his side of the story.
Great potential, some great jokes, some weird choices.
The scene where Gary sings Making Love Out Of Nothing At All is just priceless
Haven't seen the show, but I'm also now Wesley's biggest fan just off your description alone. Legend.
(Also.... You said whenever he opened his mouth, blood came out: but then they also made out...? Respect to them, but oh NOOOOO.)
I agree, haven't seen the show either, but Wesley is ALREADY my favourite character, solely from Amanda 's description! 💖😂
@@trinaq Maybe Weslet was a vampire? And they were gonna reveal it in season 2.

Wesley and Turbo’s story sounds like high school drama taken to apocalypse level stakes and I don’t understand how the writers didn’t notice when that’s idea of the whole show
He's definitely the best character. Love him.
No one may have watched Daybreak, but we're definitely watching you
(She's Australian)
Also, I thought the whole "She might fuck the Postmates guy" was less "She's empowered!" and more "She just might be a sociopath..."
And I think that's what you really missed as the underlying arc for Sam. It's not that *now* she's evil, she's always been this way. She didn't actually care about people, she just pretended to. Again, the whole thing with the Postmates guy was (I think) meant to show this. She just likes fucking with people. She likes to twist them around her finger. Her telling Josh he doesn't love her was just a peek of that. "Oh honey, you don't love me. You don't know me, because the image I showed to you was not me. Because I'm a fucking sociopath. Here, let me demonstrate."
Reccomend finishing daybreak. Yea, it could DEFINITELY use some better writing but what I liked about the show is really the twist in end. Because throughout the entire show you're watching it from josh perspective except for that one episode. In the end it revealed everything josh thinks or he is feeling is just him being love blinded by Sam. If they were to have a season 2 i say they need new writers, more background on other character, and hopefully a redemption arc.
I hated the ending 😬 I thought it was so unbelievable and there was no set up to it. kinda just felt like they put it in for the sake of having a shocking ending.
@@fionaxx8645 ikr? ugh :((
"twist"
Why do I feel this series will be the most stereotypical thing ever
it by Netflix need i say anymore
Rebieroo99 “it by Netflix” is probably something you can use for any context
It is, but it tries to work with those stereotypes. Not very well for most of them, but they tried
I though I don't like Josh the character, I thought that was like the whole point of the show to introduce this typically good white guy simp archetype as an lure and turns out he's incel with hero complex, actually at the same time we did get to see him literally become like this hero that everyone else is admiring which made his downfall better, would've preferred Wesley the protagonist and RZA narrations. Also literally on a cliffhanger like that they were banking on having a season 2 and we could assume that would be to like explore what happened, specifics of character's parents and the immediate fallout. and I do think they coulda used a least had flashbacks to simple empathize on that desensitize to death and the monster apocalypse, like they had American idol maybe explain how it came to be . Overall if it had better consultants for " Gen-z ness" and made this into a cartoon maybe would've it bopped
For like two seconds I saw the ad and thought “I’ll watch this” and then I saw more ads and I thought “nvm”
I love this hot take from Amanda:
"We, as a society, have surpassed the need for characters..."
i’m sorry is- is sam’s name ‘Sam Dean’
i- i can’t help but think whoever wrote that was an spn fan and honestly, that makes everything make more sense
The actor who plays Josh played young Sam on spn too!
First thing that came to mind when I first heard her name
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS UP I WAS SCANNING THE COMMENTS FOR THIS
The SNL bit about The Maze Runner is the perfect satire of YA.
yessssss omg the boomerang ahahah
The Group Hopper.
Nothing like a nice bag.
I thought Mona Lisa was smart for staying in the second seat. She stills get to make all the decisions, because she was making decisions for the group most of the time through Turbo. Then she took down Turbo by enlisting the help of others. Placing Sam on the thrown makes her the target for any bad decisions, especially since Sam doesn't know anything about running the group.
The problem there is that the group accepts Sam, liking someone as a friend is not the same as obeying them and they we're just talking about other plans like a second before she took the throne
Wes and Turbo were my favorite characters, almost entirely because of the story arc between them. Every other character they tried to develop was a pain in the @ss, including Angelica and Crumble, while Josh was just the absolute worst. And what even was that plotline anyway?
That said, I actually had a good time watching this show a decent portion of the time. I enjoyed the cringe and very little beats watching teenagers murder each other for absolutely no good reason. As far as I was concerned, they didn't have to explain it or mourn for anyone- I know what I'm here for.
I agree completely here
I really wanted to like it but couldn’t get past the first 10 minutes of the first episode.
Honestly, I loved the show. It was just so horrible that it was great.
Same I just got bored of it so quickly
Same, although I didn't quite make it to 10 minutes...
Alternate title for the video: "I watched Netflix's Daybreak, so you don't have to."
Although I'm curious about the "Canadian" survival skills -- how are they different from survival skills in other countries? Does it involve the usual stereotypes like hockey, saying "sorry", etc.?
We’re used to being constantly under attack from dangerous animals. Mostly from south of the border.
@@Arbite ...You're talking about Americans trying to escape, right? Yeah, don't hold that against all of us. Some of us are pretty good people.
10:50 actually it’s implied that angelica lowkey attended the school while as a queenpin, theres even a scene where shes just getting a lunch from the cafeteria same as other kids. my guess is she got the vaccine too
my dad and i tried to watch the show when it came out because we will watch literally every single zombie movie, but we had to stop 3 episodes in because we literally wanted to claw our eyes out 💀💀 it’s obvious that it wanted to be Ferris Bueller but they did it so horribly it was embarrassing to watch >_
damn
Probably not worth going back because it isn’t, like, amazing but honestly the best stuff is after episode 3.
Wow.... just wow. This show is just... wow. Thank you for watching this so we didn’t have to lol.
That is to bad about Daybreak being canceled as I was really looking forward to season two as it ended on a cliffhanger.
Another reason to hate this series: the actor and his character is about as Canadian as the entire cast of the O.C. Why would you even bother? Are we Canadians cool with the kids?
Lol 😂. Times have changed then, because when I was a kid we poked fun at Canada because the South Park creators are obsessed with y’all. We got it from them 🤷🏼♀️
I'm Canadian here. What's with the hate?
@@sharonspears-mandeville2369 Too nice, makes Americans feel bad which manifests as insults to Canada and it's citizenry. I mean, I don't generally do that, (I do make fun of Eastern Canadian accents, but from what I understand, so do Canadians)
A 40 minute swell entertainment video, sign me up
This show had a lot of potential with its premise but ended up with a cw cheesiness. Wesley defo should have been the main character.
The episode with RZA as Wesley's voice was better than the entire show. If that was the only episode most people saw from the show they'd think it was awesome
Josh and Sam are my least favorite characters and they get most of the attention, Josh is a bland characters and Sam is a M’guffin and a Mary Sue for most of it and near end she got so much worse
Everyone else varies from, I love their character (Wesley) to characters that are Meh, but they are not main character so it doesn’t matter (Mona Lisa)
I'm conflicted about this show. Parts of it I liked, and I think they could have done something great with it, but parts were just a little too cringy. I really disliked Sam from the get-go, but I was so here for anything Wesley.
I was bummed out that it wasn't getting renewed though.
The ending with Sam at least made the sour taste in my mouth make sense.
@@Tmanowns especially the part when she said "nice is when you have nothing to say about a person"
@@Tmanowns LOL that was so stupid and random for an ending
@@queerlibtardhippie9357 eh, it wasn't really that random regarding Sam. Unreliable narrator and what not.
Ok but you didn’t even mention Gary’s last performance 😔😔
That was the best part of the show
Josh is the worst part of the show yet he's the lead
The Last Kids on Earth sounds like it was a much, much better show.
Never heard of it! I'm gona watch it no doubt
And it's animated and based on a kid's book too! Apparently,from what I've seen (trailer/show clip-wise), it looks pretty good actually.
I loved this show, it was so unique and hilarious. “Is it La-croix, or la-craaahh...???”
I did like how they handled some of the mourning. Angelica was in denial, Josh got hooked on finding revenge for Sam, and Turbo ended up becoming even more screwed up and makes him obsessed winning and becoming more powerful than his dad was kind.
I actually liked the show cause I could zone out and not pay attention to the details because they didn't matter
Episode 5 (the best one) is focused on Wesley, narrated by the RZA, and ends with a Japanese cover of I Want It That Way. If the rest of the show was half as good as that episode I would love it but alas
I watched the first few episodes and lost interest. It seemed like a kids show on Nickelodeon but was just too edgy for Nick.
I actually enjoyed this show unironically! I couldn’t stand the main guy’s personality, most of the writing, and the whole Sam plot twist but I loved Wesley, Angelica and Ms. crumble!! I’m sad that we won’t be able to see the likable characters continue their story.
Somehow found Daybreak on my watch list and binged it this week. I really enjoyed it, but everything you said is accurate. Also, I've now found your channel, which looks worth checking out.
I actually really liked this show. The characters are undoubtedly horrible and the writing in regards to the actual apocalypse is awful but what drew me to this show was the concept and the world building. I go nuts for good lore and this show goes out of its way to give you a complete timeline of everything that happened from the moment school started up until the second the bomb dropped and it’s just fascinating. I had so much fun piecing together all the out or order events to make a cohesive storyline in chronological order and it does have its charming moments like most of the story concerning wesley or the, surprisingly catchy, Japanese cover of the backstreet boys. I was actually really sad to find out there wouldn’t be another season.
I was too. I definitely can agree with some of the inconsistencies and plot issues she pointed out, but I didn't get the idea that Sam was evil because she didn't want to be with Josh. I felt the writers wanted us to know he wasn't all that great and he was an unreliable narrator. I was just happy that she didn't end up with Josh and that she wanted to lead the kids instead. Whether or not that makes her evil or not, it definitely seemed like they were setting her up to be the next bad guy, but it seems more intricate than that. Just like Turbo being evil was far more intricate. I like really flawed characters where everything is gray and you don't have to root for Josh if you think he's wrong. It was a fun romp... I think they could've done better with the plot in season 2 if they'd been given a chance and I suspect a lot of the loose ends would have been fleshed out too.
Ow my hammy!!!
For me, I was too blinded by the cringe to enjoy it.
@@olandir She isn't evil because she doesn't want to be with Josh, she's evil because she doesn't connect properly with anyone and is very self-centered. She thinks everyone should look out for themselves and no-one else. We simply see the hints of this through Josh and their attempt to have sex.
I really liked this show, kinda sucks a second isn’t happening. Oh well
Really? I found it very cringey.
Sometimes cringe can be camp and camp can be character. Same reason I like Riverdale. The ridiculousness of the characters combined with the unrealistic situations makes for a beautiful eyesore.
@@strippingcthulhu right!!! i really think riverdale and daybreak manage to be so over the top that they transcend to a almost-satire like level
cringe is such a yuck concept anyway like---- and shows like daybreak and riverdale are amazing to actually watch WITH people i think they make for great social tv as there's so much stuff to discuss etc.
Oh fuck I didn't know there wasn't gonna be anymore seasons. I wasn't really into the show ngl. I suppose Josh was boring yeah.
you talked a lot about having actual teens to crosscheck scenes for relatable dialogue, so maybe you'll appreciate the show Skins(UK) for the writers asking teens to feel free to rewrite scene and dialog
maybe you can review it ?
I watched like maybe 2 episodes and was like naaaaaah, it's hard for me to not love apocalypse stuff
I did like Sam's strange line at the end because it was so unexpected. Josh is like, "Let's live together." and Sam's like "No. The apocalypse wasn't the best thing to happen to you Josh, it was the best thing to happen to me." LOL, And then the jocks worship her rather than Mona Lisa? I felt like Paper Towns was done better.
LOL. And paper towns was literally only saved by Cara Deva being perfect. Why was Mona Lisa the side character... twice. Something feels wrong about the hierachy system
That was pretty random
My problem with daybreak is the same as with 9 out of 10 of other netfix shows:
the first few episodes it's usually fun/interesting/whatever
then the story takes on a blindfold, spins a couple of times and goes of in a random direction only to fall flat on it's face ...
Exactly
I just watched this show, and that experience you have with Netflix shows is what my lady and I call "Netflixing". Literally they hook you with 3 good episodes, then it turns to shit in ways that make you say "WHY!? IT WAS SO GOOD!?" We now ask ourselves "Is this show Netflixing now?" When ever the show just starts tanking out of no where.
The trailers were really misleading i thought it would be darker but when i watched the first episode i realized how wrong i was. Super cringey the little girl felt shoe horned in the relationships were boring and it was just boring.
It wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed it. I thought it was a bit of mindless fun.
they could've done so much w/ this show and instead they ran these good set ups into the ground
When I started watching the show I honestly thought that Wesley and Mona Lisa were slowly being established as the actual main characters. Then at every turn they were shoehorned back into the minority in a horror film trope. It was very frustrating to watch.
