Structured around well-paced twists, this show appreciates the trashy appeal of airport thrillers. Yet it still makes smart choices regarding realistic motives for dark and destructive deeds.
“56 Days” has a few blips of implausibility that can take the audience out of the suspense. .... Overall, for a twisty thriller, “56 Days,” is quite entertaining. The lead actors are solid.
As an entertaining thriller that sticks the landing and has enough twists and strong performances to keep things entertaining, 56 Days is worth binge-watching, despite some of its shortcomings.
Cameron and Jogia have chemistry and clearly have fun playing off their characters’ respective demons. But it isn’t enough to buoy the weight put on their shoulders in carrying this overly long season.
