’56 Days’ sometimes forgets it’s a thriller, but detectives keep the story afloat

The story begins with a shocking discovery – a body found in a bathtub – before flashing back to the start of Oliver and Ciara’s relationship. We first see them meeting at a grocery store, and it quickly becomes clear their encounter isn’t a coincidence, though who brought them together remains a mystery. Their awkward attempts at flirting feel unnatural – it’s hard to tell if this is how people their age actually talk, or if it’s simply poor writing and acting. However, this oddness might be intentional, hinting that something isn’t right. We soon discover that neither Oliver nor Ciara is being truthful about who they are, and Oliver is particularly desperate to escape a troubled past, despite seemingly living in plain sight.

Why is Teddy Riley finally releasing his memoir after sitting on it for 12 years?

As a huge music fan, I’ve always been amazed by Teddy Riley’s work – he’s behind some absolute classics! Think Keith Sweat’s “I Want Her,” Bobby Brown’s “My Prerogative,” even Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time” and Blackstreet’s “No Diggity.” It’s interesting to hear he’s really focused on his health now and being careful about what he eats and drinks.
