Disappointed Viewers Call Netflix’s ‘365: This Day’ a Really Long, Plotless Music Video
Apr 29, 2022 • Alex Alvarez
On April 27, Netflix dropped the steamy romance film 365 Days: This Day, and it’s already at the top of the Philippines’ overall Top 10 films and shows on the streaming platform since its release. But despite this success, it seems the audience isn’t so happy with the film, with many flocking to social media to air their disappointment.
‘365 Days’
365 Days: This Day is actually the sequel of the 2020 Netflix Polish film 365 Days, which is based on Blanka Lipińska’s novel of the same name, which is then also inspired by the erotic trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey.
According to its synopsis, the first film follows a young woman named Laura Biel as she gets entangled in an unhealthy relationship with the notorious Sicilian mafia boss Massimo Torricelli, who kidnaps her and imprisons her for 365 days to make her fall in love with him.
‘365 Days: This Day’
In the sequel, 365 Days: This Day sees Laura and Massimo now married, who seem to be still in quite the unhealthy relationship. “Massimo’s family ties and a mysterious man bidding for Laura’s heart complicate the lovers’ lives,” reads its synopsis on Netflix. It is based on the second book from Blanka Lipińska’s trilogy.
Netizens are disappointed
The first film found global success on Netflix, topping the most watched lists in several countries, but most critics only had negative reviews, criticizing its glorification of violence and the mafia and its abundance of sex scenes. And it seems things are not so different for the sequel, with critics *and* viewers alike expressing their disappointment over the film.

It got a lot of negative reviews, but it still got the views. So still a win?
