Evert B @EvertJ 6d The drama is too drawn out and too many details are presented that exhaust the viewer. The main objection is something I see in other movies too, bot here it is extreme. The darkness. There is an episode almost entirely in the dark, where the men are in the reactor and are doing all kind of things but we see nothing so we are wasting our time. I find that truly a huge mistake . Yes there is a power outage and the guys have to work in the dark with flashlights. A quick scene would make that clear,. But have us stare at nothing for 2o minutes?? and then another 20 minutes in the same episode. That is just beginners mistake. The other disturbing thing , but it is probably correct, is that women but are almost nowhere to be seen. Only men are in charge. We know this is Japan but I still found that very boring somehow. So main critique.. many scenes are way too drawn out, we lose interest, we got it, please.... move on.

However, the dubbing into American accents is absolutely ridiculous and makes a mockery of the film. The acting is also ridiculously over-the-top. See more Nikki R @RT79108190 Sep 3 Deeply compelling narrative filming based on true events surrounding the Fukushima nuclear power disaster in 2011 (the worst since Chernobyl, with both being categorized by scientists as reaching the highest level of danger). Outstanding not only for the almost unbearable mounting pressure across the eight episodes; but also for the eye-opening portrayals of the existential dangers of nuclear power (let alone nuclear weapons). A real must-see that could actually prevent unimaginable disaster. See more Ampleen S @RT40233022 06/23/2025 The Days is an absolute must-see, especially for younger generations who may not fully remember or grasp the scale of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The series offers a sobering and powerful retelling of the catastrophic chain of events — a devastating earthquake, followed by a massive tsunami, that ultimately led to one of the most severe nuclear crises in history. What makes The Days particularly compelling is its ability to portray not just the technical failure, but the profound human struggle behind it. The series serves as a stark reminder of how even our most sophisticated innovations can spiral beyond human control, forcing us to confront the complex risks that come with our pursuit of progress — especially in today’s electrified, energy-hungry AI world. The acting is excellent: restrained, deeply sincere, and respectful of the gravity of the real-life tragedy. Without dramatizing for effect, the performances convey the quiet courage and humanity of those who faced unimaginable decisions under extreme pressure. See more Will P @RT35807053 05/28/2025 It's color graded like the Walking Dead, which makes everything seem unreal, like a fantasy show. Given it's supposed to be a docudrama, this completely ruins the immersion from the off. The script is clunky, the effects poor, the acting just so-so. A wasted opportunity all round.
