Season 1 Review:
Daybreak glosses over the realities of such a catastrophic event with a thick coat of knowing humor, breakneck shifts from flashbacks to the present, and POV shifts. Often, that approach works pretty well. But at times, the series cops an attitude so aggressively that it becomes exhausting. ... Just when Daybreak stretches your patience, it has a way of rebounding with a clever touch or a strong performance that makes you give it more chances.

Season 1 Review:
Throughout the series, Josh often breaks the fourth wall by introducing flashbacks, cuing montages, and contextualizing the apocalypse for the audience.

Insipid comedy aside, Daybreak offers evocative reflections on the premature death of a generation’s childhood.
