	Author	Review
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"What makes [it] work inasmuch as it does is the counterpoint between what the characters’ lives were like before the blast, and what they’re living for now (...) It’s the show’s action and social commentary that falls short"	NEU
United States	Merrill Barr Forbes	"The show is so many things. It’s funny, it’s crazy, it’s action-packed, it’s kind of stupid and it’s annoyingly charming (...) A wonderful new addition to the Netflix genre pool"	POS
United States	Vanessa Armstrong SlashFilm	"The conceit of the show is a fun one (...) The first couple episodes of the season, however, left me disappointed"	NEG
United States	Michael Ahr Den of Geek	"A comedic breath of fresh air in the lineup of bleak, apocalyptic sci-fi shows. With whipsmart, self-referential dialogue and well-rounded characters that win our hearts (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Your reception may vary, but for me the misses outnumbered the hits through the five episodes sent to critics."	NEG
United States	Niv M. Sultan Slant	"Unique but indulgent (...) Insipid comedy aside, the Netflix series offers evocative reflections on the premature death of a generation’s childhood (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Jen Chaney Vulture	"The series cops an attitude so aggressively that it becomes exhausting. 'Daybreak' is never subtle (...) [It] understands teenagers perfectly."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"A pretty tepid addition to an already saturated genre"	NEG
United States	Caroline Siede The Verge	"The biggest problem with 'Daybreak' is that for every solid joke or hilarious visual gag, there’s an attempt at irreverent topicality that falls flat, or an homage that feels lazy rather than clever."	NEU
Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"Nothing in 'Daybreak' makes much sense (...) It’s arguably more entertaining and successful than Netflix’s recent 'The Society'"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jack Seale The Guardian	"'Daybreak' has nothing to add to the high-school canon (...) so it throws as much cool stuff as it can in your face to distract you (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
