What to Know

Critics Consensus

56 Days almost overstays its welcome with this snoozy mystery, but its central conceit is saved by two utterly beguiling performances.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Feb 23
2.5/5
It’s a tricky gambit and it mostly fails: by revealing so much of the plot and quickly revealing duplicitous twists, 56 Days lays bare the infrastructure that should be hidden away. Go to Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Feb 19
56 Days suggests halfheartedly that the very wrongness of this courtship is what makes it so hot for them, and for us. But its insistence on playing coy about exactly how wrong it is or why... is to its own detriment. Go to Full Review Dominic Baez Seattle Times Feb 19
56 Days can be a little silly, and it’s definitely heavy on the dramatics, but you can’t peel your eyes away as the mystery deepens. Go to Full Review Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community 3d
56 Days isn’t good, but it is engaging, with performances that pique curiosity and an electric chemistry between the characters that makes you keep pressing play on the next episode. Go to Full Review Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post 5d
Overall, 56 Days is a sultry, seductive mystery that benefits from genuine erotic tension and an atmosphere of gloom. Go to Full Review Tim Stevens The Spool Feb 28
If there is one thing I’ve learned about eroticism in my life, it is that at least someone involved should enjoy it. 56 Days evidently was not taught the same lesson. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Adelaide W @Afvwhite 3h An intriguing storyline that keeps the tension building with every episode. Brilliant acting and genuinely gripping from start to finish. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Excellent. See more Posie B @posiebaek 15h It was very predictable unfortunately and the acting was not the best. See more Prisoner P @PrisonerPotter 2d Overall a good, exciting, addictive show. Some great performances from the younger versions of the main characters in Ep 7, however the finale tails off into a "romantic Wattpad" style completion. Definitely worth a watch despite some iffy acting performances. The book ending makes a lot more sense! See more George R 3d Intriguing series. A great mystery that keeps you guessing until the end with a combination of romance and murder. Loved all of the characters including the two leads. Love, love, love Dove Cameron's character. Bright future for this beautiful star. See more Lauren E. @Lorey 4d I thought this was very well done, had me on the edge of my seat trying to guess the ending. Thrilling, couldn’t wait for the next episode. Overarching themes of overcoming shared trauma and forgiveness See more Mariya F. @mariyafesh 5d I binged it in one sitting. Is it an AMAZING show? No. Dove Cameron’s acting is terrible and it overall has too many gen-z-like cliche aspects to it. Overall, pretty entertaining though and kept me guessing until the very end.
