Sparks Fail to Ignite in Amazon’s 56 Days Erotic Thriller
TL;DR Summary
THR’s Angie Han reviews 56 Days, Amazon’s eight-episode adaptation of Catherine Ryan Howard’s novel, pairing Dove Cameron and Avan Jogia as Ciara and Oliver in a stylish if chilly erotic thriller. While their chemistry and fast, twisty plotting initially lure viewers and the central corpse mystery adds gross intrigue, the series never fully commits to heat or emotional depth. One‑note antagonists and delayed reveals undercut the supposed danger, leaving the romance and thriller elements feeling shallow despite cinematic polish and high-end performances.
