DAY BREAK
Bravo, Wednesdays, 10:00 - 11:00 pm

It seems there's so much good US drama these days even the UK's minority channels can bag themselves a quality product. Just look at Sci-Fi Channel debuting the sublime Heroes months before the BBC. Even Hallmark has gathered some fans with survivalist drama Jericho. So now it's Bravo's turn with Day Break.

Day Break is essentially Groundhog Day-meets-24. The premise finds Detective Brett Hooper (Taye Diggs), convicted of murder and unable to provide an alibi. He then discovers the day is repeating itself, so each episode finds Hooper struggling to crack the murder he's been framed for, before the day resets itself.

Can he solve the mystery and see a brand new tomorrow?

Unfortunately, the series was cancelled in the States after 13 episodes! So while the broader answers probably won't be revealed, it apparently does end with a suitable finale.

Worth catching, I'd say.
