Daybreak is an American post-apocalyptic TV series that originally premiered on Netflix in October 2019. The show is based on Brian Ralph's graphic novel of the same name, and its story follows a group of teenagers who have survived a nuclear explosion that has wiped out nearly all of humanity.

The series is set in Glendale, California. The story is centered around a high school football star named Josh Wheeler, played by Colin Ford, who is on a quest to find his girlfriend, Samaira Dean, played by Sofia Vassilieva, after the nuclear apocalypse. Along the way, he bands together with a group of other teenage survivors, including a 10-year-old pyromaniac named Angelica Green, portrayed by Alyvia Alyn Lind, and a popular girl named Sam Dean's younger sister, who has a thirst for vengeance for her sister's rejection. The group navigates life in the apocalypse, which is now overrun by gangs, zombies, and evil mutants.

The cast is excellent, especially Colin Ford, who plays Josh Wheeler. He brings a great deal of charm and charisma to the role, making Josh an easy character to root for.

Other standout performances come from Sophie Simnett as Sam Dean and Matthew Broderick as the school's headmaster, Michael Burr.

The show has a colorful and stylish look, complete with great costumes and makeup. The series' fascinating visuals add to its unique style and make it stand out from other post-apocalyptic TV shows. The camera work is immersive, and the fight scenes are well-choreographed and thrilling.

Daybreak does an excellent job of blending different genres together. It has a mix of drama, action, romance, and comedy. At times, it can get dark and uncomfortable, but the writers never forget the show's roots in being a light-hearted post-apocalyptic series.
