Community reviews for THE DAYS, shown here with its season details.
Focusing more on technical details, accuracy and quiet moments of tension between characters, The Days feels just as educational as entertaining and I appreciate the refusal to over-dramatize this pivotal moment in history. The miniseries makes effective use of its budget and even the English audio dubbing isn't terrible. Worth a watch.
