5 DAYS: New HBO Mini-Series With Rave Review

I had never heard of the mini-series “5 Days”, but according to this Hollywood Reporter Article it is a must-see event.

It certainly sounds promising.

I will have to DVR it and perhaps then watch them all, back-to-back.

Starts tomorrow night (October 2).

That sounds like a good idea! At least until a Doper starts a thread after the first episode, raving about how good it is. :slight_smile:

Have heard nothing but good things about this one. But I wouldn’t recommend looking into it too much, as you might accidentally discover the ending/culprit(s).

That sounds really interesting.

Thanks for the info and link, DMark

So, just watched episode #2, but my DVR cut off the very last bit. Last I saw, the Indian/Pakistani detective was chasing the presumably-Bosnian guy through the flower shop. Did anything happen after that?
Anyhow, overall thoughts… it’s REALLY good. Very gripping, seems very authentic. And I like that so far the things that have been resolved (the fate of the two kids, primarily) has neither been super-sad nor super-happy.

It’s very interesting seeing the effect that tragedy and stress-about-possible-tragedy is having on the various people, seeing everyone doing what they can in the situation, etc.
I’d give good odds that Leanne will not be seen alive, but that’s purely speculation.
