Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Feb 23
2.5/5
It’s a tricky gambit and it mostly fails: by revealing so much of the plot and quickly revealing duplicitous twists, 56 Days lays bare the infrastructure that should be hidden away. Go to Full Review
Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Feb 19
56 Days suggests halfheartedly that the very wrongness of this courtship is what makes it so hot for them, and for us. But its insistence on playing coy about exactly how wrong it is or why... is to its own detriment. Go to Full Review
Dominic Baez Seattle Times Feb 19
56 Days can be a little silly, and it’s definitely heavy on the dramatics, but you can’t peel your eyes away as the mystery deepens. Go to Full Review
Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post 4h
Overall, 56 Days is a sultry, seductive mystery that benefits from genuine erotic tension and an atmosphere of gloom. Go to Full Review
Tim Stevens The Spool 2d
If there is one thing I’ve learned about eroticism in my life, it is that at least someone involved should enjoy it. 56 Days evidently was not taught the same lesson. Go to Full Review

R B @Breeno 12h I loved the book, but this made too many totally unnecessary changes and lost all of what made the book great. See more Sonny S @sonnyshine99 23h This had potential to be great but unfortunately in my opinion it fell flat and was quite predictable. See more Benny S @bennybs00 1d It started good but then became quite predictable and I did not believe the acting at all from most of the characters. See more Vinita J @Thatsheet 1d I recently watched 56 Days, and honestly, it felt like a complete waste of time. The series had so much potential, especially being marketed as a thriller, but it failed miserably to deliver on that promise. The casting choices were extremely disappointing. In particular, one of the lead actors someone I wasn’t even familiar with gave a performance that felt flat and unconvincing. His acting lacked depth and emotion, which made it difficult to connect with the character or take the story seriously. For a thriller, the most important element is suspense. It should keep viewers on edge, constantly building tension and curiosity about what will happen next. Unfortunately, this series did the opposite. The pacing was dull, the mystery wasn’t engaging, and there were no real moments that made me feel excited or anxious. Instead of being gripping, it felt predictable and dragged out. See more Lori S. @shugknight 1d I thought this was a good show, idk what everyone is talking about See more Sharang L @Scribe187 2d Neither works as a thriller nor as a love story.
