Days of our lives is a real show?!
Main Post:
I was just browsing IMDB and found this soap opera there. Apparently airing since the 1960s. I thought it was a completely made up show! I'm not from the U.S so I don't really watch American daytime TV. Wow, my whole life has been a lie haha.
Top Comment: Thanks for the laugh OP! Jen Aniston’s dad, John Aniston, played one of the main characters on the show. It’s kind of a nod to him that they used it in Friends. It’s arguably one of the most popular soap operas (in the US) ever!
Anyone else watching The Days?

Curious who else is watching it and your thoughts so far?
I’m a little over halfway through the season(episode 5). While I was hoping for something more like Chernobyl, it could be worse. It feels more like a made for tv movie from the 90s like Night of the Twisters - entertaining but lots of room for improvement. The director also really loves slow mo cuz they will randomly switch to slow no cuts that seem out of place(maybe that’s a Japanese style I’m unaware of?). The dubbing is at least someone synced up but the voice acting isn’t very good, and probably my biggest gripe of the show. I wish production companies would invest a little more in their voice acting.
Top Comment: From what I’m aware of it is a Japanese style, which I quite like honestly. I really liked the series. Not much for the whole “anti-nuclear”, which I really didn’t see much of. The wonderful acting by the cast and dramatization allowed me to fully immerse myself into believing I was there. Sure, the disaster might not have been bad as Chernobyl, but being a staff member at the facility must’ve been terrifying. To not know if you’ll be able to see your loved ones or not or getting radiation poisoning like the pictures in the beginning showed. I cannot think of understanding of how they felt.
Thoughts on Days of the New?

Top Comment: I love DotN, Travis Meeks man, what lost potential. One of my favorite tracks is actually off their third record. 'Dancin' with the Wind'. Their magnum opus if you will. Tantric is a good listen as well, their first few albums are by the DotN band.
Are the plots on Days of our Lives really that ridiculous or is the show just making fun of it?

Death by elevator shaft, brain transplant, sister locked in a dungeon, does stuff like that happen on the real Days of our Lives as well?
Top Comment: Marlena got possessed by the devil and turned into a jaguar. Is that crazy enough?
What does everyone here think about the band Days of the New? I’ve really been into them a lot lately
Main Post:
Travis Meeks is a total musical genius. Addiction really took a toll on him, but every Days of the New just had so much emotion, passion, and grit to it. By far one of the best Post Grunge bands
