      Audience Member This was hands down the worst television show I've ever sat through. It's incredibly slow and drawn out. The sequence of events make absolutely no sense and the writing is all over the place. New characters suddenly appear without any explanation of who they are or how they relate to the situation. It felt like it took a lifetime to finally uncover the plot and it was such a lackluster conclusion that you're left with so much regret for having wasted your time for no pay off. I'm so shocked that this was produced by BBC as they are often masterminds of the murder mystery - this one most certainly fell short. So badly that I was compelled to write this review to save anyone from wasting their time with this nonsense. Also - it was quite annoying that the title of the show is "Five Days" but it's never explained why. The plot takes place over some 79 days according to the episode titles??? Bad writing and show design all around. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A woman driving with her two kids stops by the road side to buy some flowers and is never seen again. Her two children are left with the car to fend for themselves, but they soon disappear too. A 5 part British miniseries that follows the police investigation as well as the effect on the family. A good police procedural that incorporates family drama into the mix. Good performances all around, especially from David Oyelowo and Penelope Wilton. It aired on HBO in North America. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Booooooooriiiiiiiiing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Four days too long. A very slow moving story with uninteresting characters and boring dialogue. This might have been worth watching if it were cut to one or two hours. I couldn't get through it without employing the FF button quite a bit. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This 5 part mini series took place over 5 days in a kidnapping case that spanned a few months. The main difference with this story was that it did not focus much on the investigation but instead went in depth into the people and their reaction and feelings about the situation. It got very emotional at times and it is crazy yet realistic to see how something like a kidnapping can affect so many people and relationships. If you are wanting something like a CSI or Law and Order this is not for you, it is all about the process the people involved go through and nothing to do with the actual case itself. I enjoyed the change in pace and the focus being on something different but at times it did get a little dull but for a short mini series it was not bad. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Half police thriller half character study, this was a well written, well acted British miniseries with many twists and turns, focusing on the disappearance of a woman and how this situation affects and changes the lives of many people. 5 one hour episodes. Very entertaining. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
