I thought the first episode was pretty good. There is quite a bit of violence, but nothing real graphic. They've done a good job of developing the mysterious part of the plot to keep you interested even though the same day keeps repeating. The interesting thing will be to see how well they are able to keep the episodes that way as time goes on.

What Parents Need to Know
About Day Break
Parents need to know that this intense Groundhog Day-meets-24 thriller follows a police detective on the run. Scenes include gun battles in which people are killed. Viewers see a main character get shot and killed at close range, with blood splattering against a window as a result. In one scene, a character removes a bullet from another person using a pair of pliers. Anticipation of violence is constant, providing lots of tension. Children are sometimes threatened. In at least one scene, a couple showers together, with oblique references to sexual activity.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the show's narrative structure. What's appealing about the repeating-day format? How does the concept help or hurt the story? How far do you think producers can take the idea -- how would it play out over several seasons? What would you do if you found yourself living the same day over and over again? What if the only way to make it stop repeating was to sacrifice a loved one? What do you think about the idea that "for every decision, there is a consequence"?
