I enjoy visiting Belgium. The Old Sport and I both enjoy their beers and we’ve been to visit a couple times. We spent some time in the cities as well as the countryside and enjoyed both quite a bit for what they had to offer. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to go back in the last few years and I was starting to miss it. Then, all of a sudden, I saw that The Day was going to be available in the US and Canada to stream on Topic. Now, I also enjoy an interesting heist premise. And what I’d read about The Day was that you were seeing a bank heist from the police’s perspective and then the crooks’, alternating each episode. Of course, it’s all taking place within one day- hence the title. Well, I was sold. Why not give it a shot? And it paid off!
