AceShowbiz - A new original series from **Prime Video**, the eight-episode crime thriller 56 Days, has premiered to a promising reception, boasting a solid score on **Rotten Tomatoes**. Starring **Dove Cameron** and **Avan Jogia**, the series delves into the intense 56-day relationship between Ciara (**Cameron**) and Oliver (**Jogia**), which ultimately culminates in a murder investigation.
As of February 18, 56 Days season 1 holds a 64% Tomatometer score from 11 reviews on **Rotten Tomatoes**. The series, which blends elements of crime and erotic thriller, is largely being lauded as an entertaining watch, particularly for its intriguing lead performances. Created by **Karyn Usher** and **Lisa Zwerling**, the show also features a talented supporting cast including **Karla Souza**, **Dorian Missick**, and **Megan Peta Hill**.
The initial positive critical response positions 56 Days as the fourth-highest-rated TV show in **Dove Cameron**'s career and the fifth-highest for **Avan Jogia**. In its review, **ScreenRant**'s **Matthew Rudoy** praised the new series, stating it "has enough twists and strong performances to keep things entertaining, [...] is worth binge-watching, despite some of its shortcomings." **Rudoy** specifically highlighted **Cameron**'s "magnetic quality that makes Ciara's seemingly sweet interactions [...] as believable as when she is coldly manipulating," while commending **Jogia** for adeptly making "Oliver's general discomfort and his many insecurities palpable."
While many critics appreciate the show's entertainment value, some have pointed out its perceived weaknesses. For instance, **M.N. Miller** of **FandomWire** found the "adaptation of **Catherine Ryan Howard**’s novel is contrived and boring." 56 Days is based on **Howard**'s novel of the same name, known for other works like *The Trap* and *Burn After Reading*. Currently, there is no official word from **Amazon** regarding a potential second season that would extend beyond the source material's ending.
This role marks **Dove Cameron**'s first TV appearance since *Big Nate* in 2023, and it ranks as her best-rated series since *Schmigadoon!* (93%), which holds the second-highest score of her television career, following *Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.* (95%). **Cameron** initially rose to prominence through her **Disney Channel** days, starring in hits like *The Descendants* and *Liv and Maddie*. **Avan Jogia**'s last television role was prior to this new series.
