Scorchin' Summer Streamin' 26 - 56 Days - Season One

56 Days is a buzzy thriller series on Amazon Prime Video. Lots of media interest reporting "lot's" of sex. Realistically though, compared to Pornhub, this was nothing! So TAME

Developed by Karyn Usher and Lisa Zwerling, based on Catherine Ryan Howard's 2022 novel of the same name, and executive produced by James Wan. Yes that Aussie James Wan, who does like MEGAN, Saw, decent stuff. Well this isn't decent, it's trashy AF. Almost not in a good way trashy!

Starring hunky, Avan Jogia, alongside Dove Cameron, Karla Souza, & Dorian Crossmond Missick. 

Over eight episodes, the series alternates between two timelines, following Oliver and Ciara's relationship after meeting in a supermarket, and 56 days later, when a corpse is found in their apartment with two detectives trying to uncover what happened.

Landing mid-February, I'm almost up to date with my Amazon series. Just have Cross season two and local series Deadloch to watch. The later only returned Friday with all six episodes.

So give me more info on this trashy, not that sexy series. Oliver Kennedy (Jogia) and Ciara Wyse ( Cameron) start an intense relationship after meeting in a supermarket but police fear it has ended in murder after an unidentifiable body is found.

This was LAME AF in my mind.

With hunky Avan Jogia, James Wan behind the scenes, I was expecting more. Not to mention the hype the series received online.

Amazon has had a CRACKING start to 2026. Steal, The Night Manager and Scarpetta all in the first quarter. Deadloch and Cross returning. The Boys next month! They are shitting on Netflix right about now!

This is a solid AF lineup!

So back to 56 Days, this gave solid, everything is wrapped up miniseries vibes, so I may change this when I publish RATED for Q1, 2026. Here's a line about the dreary finale.

Karl and Lee put together some final pieces to truly understand everything about Oliver and Ciara's intense, charged and fatal love affair.

Well that proved Amazon need to stick to their macho male series, teeny bopper Summer I Turned Pretty's or The Boys franchise. Cause this ain't it!

See you next time for The Madison.
