6 Reasons You Should Have Watched Netflix's Daybreak

To say that this decade has been dominated by the zombie apocalypse genre would be something of an understatement. Over the past 10 years, we've seen countless film and TV dramas centred on the rise of the undead, but it's no overestimation to suggest that the The Walking Dead stands at the top of that mountain. Like that show, the majority of these are built upon as much realism as believably possible and produce long-drawn out tales of survival (that, after 10 seasons, can get a little repetitive).

Daybreak, however, offers something a little bit different. Thanks to its unapologetically youthful perspective, it gives viewers a chance to see the, dare we say, positive aspects of a zombie apocalypse (yes, it felt wrong typing that). You know, things like lack of school and more freedom. Obvs.

More to the point, it's incredibly self-aware, as it utilises quirky and comedic monologues that break the fourth wall in a bid to relay information. Yes, it's highly expositional, but again, the writers are fully aware of that and use it to play to the show's strengths.

This limits the endlessly dull 'what are we going to hunt for this week' dialogue exchanges that the characters on the likes of The Walking Dead would face and just gets the information out there from the get-go in a fun, sarcastic and most importantly, different type of way. And the result speaks for itself.
