D is for DEFYING GRAVITY and DAY BREAK_ Cancelled too soon

This short-lived 2009 TV series
(A Canadian/American joint effort)
followed the crew of the spaceship Antares on their mission to explore our solar system.
 

The story unfolds by interspersing flashbacks to the astronauts’ training period 

with the actual live mission as they leave Earth for their first destination, Venus.

Their time in space is filmed as part of a reality show that is beamed back to Earth so that planet-bound audiences can follow their progress.

But a series of mishaps besets the crew which leads to the revelation of a mysterious presence known as “Beta” on board the ship

 which is affecting the behavior of the crew members and may jeopardize their mission.

ABC didn't understand the quality, absorbing, and well-written show they had on their hands, cancelling it after only 8 episodes.

 If Netflix has it, do yourself a favor and watch the full 13 episodes.

AND THEN THERE IS 
DAY BREAK:

Think an intellectual GROUNDHOG DAY played for drama. 

It's not often ABC stars a black man as the central figure in a suspense/action/thriller.  Do yourself a favor.  Netflix has this last I checked.

A police detective is re-living the worst day of his life: 

he is framed for murder, his girlfriend is murdered to show what will happen to his sister if he does not confess.

THEN THE DAY REWINDS.

Unlike Groundhog Day, he can die; his wounds don't heal, stitches do not carry over, 

and he somehow knows that if he does not solve the murder, he will stay in this insane cycle forever.

In one episode many days play over and over: 

Sometimes 30 in one episode.  

Lives he fails to save one day mysteriously impact the reliving of the next day.

It resolves at the end in ways that satisfy. 

 Don't miss it.
