The reverse-chronological format, which was meant to be its strongest asset, was seen as a weakness. Reviewers pointed out that many subplots felt unnecessary, doing little more than adding "distracting sub-plots" without "relevance and depth". As a result, the user rating on Gadgets 360 was a low 2.6/5, with the site describing it as a show "with barely any thrills". Despite the talent involved, 36 Days failed to become the gripping thriller it aspired to be.
So, why should you watch '36 Days'?
