“Terrifying” New Netflix Series Based On True Events Is Shocking Viewers: “This is one of the best series I’ve ever seen”
A new disaster series debuted on Netflix last week, so the charts look very different today. This new thriller based on harrowing real-life events leaped immediately into the Top 10. It seems subscribers cannot get enough of The Days.
Netflix Synopsis
“At 2:46 p.m. on 11 March, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake with a maximum seismic intensity of 7 (recorded at Kurihara-cho, Miyagi prefecture) struck approximately 130 kilometers off the Sanriku coast. One hour after this earthquake shook the islands of Japan, a 15-meter-tall tsunami swallowed up the Fukushima nuclear power plant in an instant. But that was only the start of the nightmare. With its cooling function lost, the power plant fell into a dangerous and uncontrollable state.
Over the course of eight episodes, this multi-layered drama faithfully captures a disastrous incident from three different perspectives based on careful research. “What happened there on that day?” This story seeks to answer this question based on the true events of seven intense days from the perspectives of government, corporate organizations, and the people on site risking their lives.“
