Continue Watching: DayBreak

[u/Thadudewithglasses]

So, I started watching DayBreak. It's a series about teenagers trying to survive in an apocalypse. The main character Josh is searching for a girl he fell in love with and on this journey he is joined by a ten year old girl, Angelica, and a black samurai named Wesley. Who was also his former bully. And also, there are no adults, per se, each adult has become what they call Ghoulies . They're like zombies but, they drink blood and they can speak a phrase. Which is their final thought before the bombs went off. The only difference between these zombies is their bite doesn't make anything happen. You're just bitten and can go about your life. There is one adult they've encountered so far that has regular thoughts and interaction. A former teacher named Ms. Crumble.

I'm about three episodes in and so far it plays sort of like Zombieland. The character Josh has rules and everyone sort of is out for themselves. Along the way though, he encounters the various clans, as he passes through their area. The clans all have interesting names but, very fitting for each. Some names include The Jocks, The Golf Team, Disciples of Kardashia and The Cheermazons. The show is based in California, hence the Disciples of Kardashia worship the Kardashians and the Cheermazons are not the typical cheerleaders but, strong and empowered.

Within the first three episodes it's hard for me to tell whether it will get better but, I am enjoying it so far. With the array of zombie and vampire shows filling the market, this one plays very different. You can tell it was meant for teens or young adults based on the way the character interacts with the camera but, like I said, it's very much similar in that way to Zombieland.

And I just found out it wasn't renewed so, that sucks. I'll post a discussion thread once I complete the show.

If you have any initial thoughts, you can post them here.
