If you want to remain having fond memories of the show it's probably best if you only watch the first four episodes.

Desperate Feds take on cult in sly Chris Morris satire.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 11th October 2019Film review: The Day Shall Come
If this was a first time director, or a normally workmanlike one like Ron Howard, it'd no doubt get praise for the directions it takes, but this is Chris Morris we're talking about, and a film we've waited nine years for, so it's incredibly frustrating that it's a flawed creation. And though the ending is powerful and the points it makes are important ones, I miss the Chris Morris who could do all of those things while also maintaining an incredibly high joke rate, and I just hope that whatever he does next is a return to those times, and that we don't have to wait quite so long for such an event too.

Chris Morris follow up to Four Lions mocks the conventions of the US War on Terror - The Day Shall Come shows just how much we've missed him, says Cath Clarke.
Cath Clarke, The Big Issue, 11th October 2019The Day Shall Come review
Morris certainly succeeds in using satire to throw some light onto the shady operations of the FBI, but whether The Day Shall Come succeeds as a gripping, convincing story or astute comedy is mooter. But there's plenty of food for thought generated from the subject matter.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 11th October 2019Review: The Day Shall Come
Chris Morris's latest film might have its heart in the right place, but lacks direction and fails to deliver on an ambitious premise, says Linda Marric.
Linda Marric, The Jewish Chronicle, 11th October 2019The Day Shall Come: has Chris Morris lost his edge?
A new film by Chris Morris ought to be an event. The agent provocateur of Brass Eye infamy has tended to rustle feathers and spark debate, whatever he does. His last film, Four Lions, dared to find comedy in Islamic terrorism in 2010, when so many wounds were still so fresh. But that was almost a decade ago, and the signs are that Morris is losing his edge, while also in dire need of a new topic.

I expected to laugh like a drain but instead, it was just an occasional gurgle.
