Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 4d
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
Sarah Novack Tell-Tale TV 3d
4/5
56 Days is everything anyone could hope for — sexy, thrilling, and mysterious. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 3d
As boring as all that sounds, it's actually worse because it takes eight episodes to tell a story that could have easily been told in two. Go to Full Review
Marty Brown Common Sense Media 3d
4/5
56 Days delivers on the tension between its two leads, Dove Cameron and Avan Jogia, but also sets up enough questions to keep viewers constantly looking for clues. Go to Full Review

Lane M 4h Enjoyed this series, a lot of twist and turns See more Mone C @Mone77 18h The series was only interesting in the first 4 episodes. The last 4 episodes were very dragged out. I also didn't like the ending of the series with the glamorization of the idea that those with money are immune to any consequences. I also thought it was weak that the couple ended up together, as if all the suffering of Ciara's family was just a drop in the ocean. They sold the series as an erotic thriller, and it's far from having "eroticism" in this series. In short, it promised a lot but delivered less than 40%. Tottaly disappointing. See more Amari R. @atdavis88 22h I loved it! It was funny, scary, and above all passionate See more Andrei D 1d I starts off dumb, sags in the middle, never quite connects with its themes, but it somewhat delivers in its final episodes See more Lea D @yumyu.m 1d I DIDN'T EXPECT THE PLOT TWIST AND SUPER LOVE IT THE MOST AMAZING See more Kat S @KatShay 1d This was a good one. The story was quite captivating, and there were some very clever moments. Whenever I thought a plot was going in a too simple direction, it took a turn and revealed a new layer. Kept me interested the whole way through. And the casting was fantastic. The leads and supporting cast all delivered excellent performances, and they had great chemistry with each other. Definitely recommend. See more Read all reviews
