Day 5 is set in the immediate aftermath of a fatal sleep epidemic. After a fortuitous drug bender saves his life, addict Jake ventures out into the quiet streets… unaware that most of the world already died in their beds. Now, battling sleepless fatigue and encroaching delirium, Jake teams with a scrappy teenager, overnight doctor and red-eye pilot to search for answers… and just maybe find a way to sleep again. Set in a world of insomniacs, late-shift workers and roving psychotics, Day 5 presents a unique vision of the apocalypse that fuses serial drama and thriller around a human story of survival and redemption.

This was an AMAZING first episode, definitely got me hooked! The fact that they managed to establish a strong emotional connection between the main character and the viewer literally in the first 10 minutes is almost already enough reason for me to keep watching... I wasn't super hyped about this after the frankly disappointing experience that was Lazer Team but Day 5 is nothing like it. It has professional acting, an intriguing story and amazing camera and sound work. I will definitely (finally) get a sponsorship now!
