Day Break: The Complete Series
For every decision, there's a consequence.
Did you ever have a day so bad you couldn't wait to get past it? The kind of day where nothing goes your way, and everything turns out wrong. What would happen if you couldn't put this day behind you... literally?
Today, Detective Brett Hopper will be accused of shooting state attorney Alberto Garza. He will offer his rock solid alibi. He will realize he's been framed. And he will run. Then he will wake up and start the day over again. This time he'll do it differently - and will continue to - until he finds out who's framing him, gets his gang witness to court to testify, and saves the lives of his loved ones. Hopper has only one advantage in his favor - he remembers everything he did the "day prior" that didn't work. It's a painful way to learn, because he also carries the bruises and battle scars from every mistake-filled day.
Taye Diggs (Private Practice) stars in an action-packed, thriller from director Rob Bowman (The X-Files, Reign of Fire) and writer Paul Zbyszewski (After the Sunset). Hopper must find the balance between doing what's important and what's right to get through this killer day and move on to tomorrow.
Includes 7 episodes never aired in initial network broadcast run bringing the series to an explosive, thrilling conclusion!

Brilliant mix of thrills & introspection - falcons84
Day Break is possibly one of the best TV shows out there and it was a darn shame it was cancelled. My husband and I watched each disc with all the episodes back-to-back because we were so captivated by the story. The writers obviously put a lot of thought into fitting the pieces together, and despite the Groundhog Day premise nothing feels repetitive or implausible; every episode is fresh and thrilling. Some of the episodes where Taye Diggs' character Brett Hopper becomes tired of repeating his day are wonderful for their unusual brand of introspection, and the show is psychologically complex. The murder mystery is excellent, and the main characters are really well-rounded and three-dimensional. Every person feels real.
Agreed that the series could be a little confusing if jumped into, but I think the recap at the beginning more than makes up for it.
Wonderful, wonderful show, with no quibbles at all! Watch it!Terrific Taye Diggs - Monica09
The show has an interesting, Groundhog Day, kind of premise with Taye repeating the worst day of his life. Although it is the same day, when Taye makes changes the day changes. He has been falsely accused of murdering a district attorney. While trying to stay out of jail on the murder charge, he also finds time to save his girlfriend, his sister, his ex-partner (a druggie), his present partner who is having problems with Internal Affairs, a total strange who sometimes is hit by a bus(and sometimes not)and various other people in his circle. Taye is gorgeous as are most of the main characters. The cast is multi-racial which is great,although as I said most are physically out of this world,they are so perfect. Great character actors like Adam Balwin add to the interest. The shots of LA are drenched in colour and atmosphere. After seeing the first four episodes, I am eager to see the rest of the DVDs.Very Addictive Show - MsFan24
Very Addictive Show when episodes are watched back to back. I can imagine starting in the middle would be confusing as would missing any episodes. This is probably why the show was cancelled. But I liked this very much for what it is, which is a very good looking, fast paced cop drama with lots of action, shootings, car chases and explosions.
