Detective Brett Hopper: Well, that should be easy 'cos I know he's stuffed in the back of your truck

an intelligent show gets punished for being intelligent

This show reminded me of a mix between "Groundhog Day" and "Early Edition" After the first episode I thought it was a very interesting story! But to keep a story surprising and exciting while this main character is reliving this particular day would be difficult! But after seeing the first six episodes I was sure this was a good action/drama with a very interesting story! I couldn't wait till the next episode! Yes,maybe it was a bit far fetched! But that was part of the fun! Also I liked the idea of getting the chance to correct mistakes you made! What really was brilliant that they showed the different paths and their outcomes,good or bad! This gave the show a very intelligent take on faith and destiny! This show made you think and keep you entertained! In my book that is called a hit. That's why I am really sad to hear that they canceled this great show! To me it's a big mystery that they keep on broadcasting boring shows like Law and Order and Stargate where they keep repeating the same themes over and over again and killing wonderful shows like this one! Thanks for this show,you made my day! Addendum: Good news!!!! ABC put out the remaining episodes from Day Break on their Website! I have been able to watch all the episodes! The finale was great! Not going to spoil it but it has a touching ending!
