Adults had one stupid job: to teach us how to be good people. But adults are the most selfish assholes of all! And the worst part is, we don’t get our chance to grow up and fuck up the world ourselves!

The duality of Daybreak will never cease to amaze me. I mean, on one hand, the whole show is basically just a giant shit post. But on the other hand, it touches on some really deep and personal topics. The kind of show that has you crying laughing, if you will.
They'll have this scene with Josh where he's like
I GOTTA CUT OFF MY FINGER MAN I DONT WANNA BE A ZOMBIE
And then Angelica walks in and is like
WHAT THE FUCK MAN THIS ISNT THE WALKING DEAD, THE ZOMBIE BITES DO NOTHING
And Josh is just staring at his severed finger like man oh man.
Topics
The entire show is filled with scenes like that but it also addresses things such as
Bullying
Morality
Complex parent relationships
The struggle to fit in
Mental illness
Homophobia
Loneliness
Grief
Sacrifice
A breakdown of the manic pixie dream girl trope
Realizing that maybe you aren't a good person
Having to choose the lesser of two evils
Having to choose between being true to yourself and being the person everyone wants from you
And one of the best parts is that, yes, they do fuck up. A character makes a decision and maybe it was the wrong one. Maybe actions do have consequences. Sometimes they learn from those mistakes. Sometimes they don't. I like this. It makes it feel like an accurate depiction of a human being.
They show everyone as fucking idiots, but every episode has a different character's backstory, narrated by themselves. It makes you realize that even if you think someone's a dick, sometimes there are things going on in their lives that you just can't know about.
Episodes
(Some of who narrates each episode for context):
Josh- Josh vs. the Apocalypse Part 1, Schmuck Bait!, Post Mates
One of the things most apparent from Josh's perspective, is that he loves Samaira Dean. All we ever see are good things about her. But as the plot drags on, it starts to become apparent that maybe Josh's narration is unreliable, warped.
Angelica- The Slime Queenpin of Glendale, CA
Angelica's story is a bit funny, bordering on concerning. It's clear however, that she didn't have the best childhood and all she really wants is a friend, or someone who won't leave her behind.
Wesley- Homecoming Redux or My So Called Stunt Double Life
I could go on forever about Wesley's episode, but the main dilemma is that Wesley needs to pick between two people he loves. Sam advises him to ignore both options- to pick himself instead. It really makes you think that he did too. But in the end, he made a decision and now has to live with the guilt of what he did. Present-day, he's faced with a similar situation once again, and he doesn't know how to make the right decision.
Ms. Crumble- Canta Tu Vida
Ms. Crumble was a tragic character. Her backstory reflected that as well. She had so much character growth as the series went on and I was in tears during the finale.
I honestly have no idea what I was originally going for here but at this point it's pretty much just a Daybreak themed mess. Bon appetit.

So mad they cancelled it. I hope Sam dies, Eli comes back, Josh gets with someone else/sets his mind on something else, and Turbo and Wesley finally get their happy ever after.
I as well demand that Angelica and Ms. Crumble get their mother/daughter bonding time. If not, I riot.

i just finished daybreak and i only have one thing on my mind.
WHY TF DID THEY KILL ELI??? HE WAS THE MOST ENTERTAINING CHARACTER IN THE SHOW WTF
and the way that he died???? could they have made his death any more pathetic???? I AM SO MAD HE DESERVED A HEROIC DEATH
objectively this show is really good (smart writing, decent actors, brilliant plot) BUT AFTER ELI DIED I WAS LITERALLY SO UNINTERESTED. 
eli and ms crumble were the only characters i cared about so when ms crumble “died” i was actually about to lose my shit.

I never in my life even heard of someone with the last name Wheeler but apparently every other show on Netflix has got to have one

Josh, crossing his arms: I have no fear
Angelica: What if one random day you wake up and Eli was taller than you?
Josh: Okay so, I have one fear

Josh : I fell—
Eli : From heaven?
Josh : No, I literally fell—
Eli : In love with me the moment you saw me?
Josh : MY ARM IS BROKEN!
Eli: Okay, but do you think I'm pretty? Be honest.
Josh: Do you want to know your gay name?
Eli : My... my gay name?
Josh : Yeah, it's your first name-
Eli : Haha. Very funny Josh -
Josh : *gets down on one knee* And my last name.
Eli: Oh- oh my god.
Josh: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are my clothes too. Don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt.
Eli: Fine, but when I come strutting in with your fuzzy socks I don't want to hear shit.

So uh...just finished watching daybreak...now I'm just as sad as I was from EDDIE'S DEATH IN STRANGER THINGS! I MEAN THEY DIDNT EVEN GIVE ELI A HEROIC DEATH! but hey, at least ms. crumble is alive, right? Well sort of. The show was still good, I mean Sam is a bit confusing but that's what I like about those kind of characters is shows/movies. that we have to figure out how they are, how their development will be if they had a next season. And turbo and Wesley, yeeeeeeessss! I love them and it makes me feel more single than I already am. Josh is somewhat a little bit of a pick-me boy but he's ok, he is a-ok. He is just josh. And Angelica and crumble's friendship! I love it! Anyway, the show was awesome, I loved it. Wished eli was either secretly alive or died a heroic death, but the rest was goot : }
