In the pilot episode of Daybreak, we are introduced to Josh Wheeler, a high school sophomore and the unlikely hero of the post-apocalyptic world he now inhabits. Ninety-one days after a mysterious nuclear blast destroyed life as he knew it, Josh is on a mission to find his missing girlfriend, Sam. Along the way, he partners up with Wesley Fists, a former high school bully turned samurai-obsessed pacifist, and Angelica, a 10-year-old pyromaniac on a mission to find her missing adoptive parents.

As Josh navigates the treacherous landscape of Glendale, California, he quickly discovers that the end of the world has given rise to a new social order with gangs that now run the town. Alliances are formed and destroyed in the blink of an eye. To survive, you need to have the right connections, the right skills, and a willingness to shed your old life and embrace an entirely new one.

At the same time, we learn about the origins of the nuclear blast that has sent the entire world into chaos. We are introduced to Principal Burr, who is running Glendale High School as if nothing ever happened. He is the brain behind the organization that is now running the town. While the only thing he cares about is creating a perfect high school experience for himself, he is also one of the few people in Glendale who knows what really caused the blast. The truth is shocking and it leads Josh and his friends down a path that will eventually bring them face-to-face with the people responsible.

As Josh, Wesley, and Angelica venture deeper into the post-apocalyptic world, they encounter a variety of colorful characters, each with their own stories to tell. There are goths, jocks, cheerleaders, samurais, and even a group of cannibalistic golfers. Through the eyes of these characters, we get a glimpse into the ways in which people are trying to cope with the end of the world. Some have become hardened killers, while others have lost their minds completely.

Throughout the episode, we see a wide range of emotions from Josh. He is still grappling with the fact that the world as he knew it is gone forever. At times, he is scared, angry, and frustrated. But he is also determined to find Sam and reunite with her, no matter what it takes. As a character, Josh is the perfect blend of vulnerability and grit. He is flawed, but he has a good heart.

Overall, the first episode of Daybreak is an excellent introduction to the show. It sets up the characters, the world, and the stakes of the series. The production design and cinematography are top-notch, giving the show a unique and visually stunning look. The script is sharp and filled with humor, which balances out the more dramatic moments of the story.
