REVEALED: Is the days on netflix based on a true story | Vintage Vibes

A new dark drama has dropped on Netflix, chronicling the fallout of a nuclear disaster in Japan.

The Days explores the catastrophe from three different points of view; those who put their lives in danger, the government's and corporate organisations'. The synopsis for the eight-part series reads: "Blamed by some, hailed as heroes by others, those involved with Fukushima Daiichi face a deadly, invisible threat – an unprecedented nuclear disaster."

The show is based on a true story; the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster which occurred on 11 March 2011. It was triggered by a 9.1 magnitude earthquake off the cost of Japan's main island, Honshu.
