One Day

One reviewer said maybe they are the only one who hasn't read the book or seen the film, you are not alone! I'd never heard of it before. I found it compelling, it brought back so much for me from my own past, it was very nostalgic. People have commented on a lack of chemistry, I didn't see it that way at all. I loved Emma's refusal to just pander to Dexter, and I like her humour, I thought they worked really well together. They had more than just ripping each other's clothes off, which is why their relationship endured.

I cried, multiple times. I loved this series. If you were born in the seventies or eighties you'll relate to a lot of things.

After watching I had a brief look at the original film and I definitely prefer the series. I know it's set in the past but the film looks so dated.

I AM A MESS.

What a beautiful and heart-wrenching story. I haven't been this emotionally gripped by something like this in a long time. I'm usually quite the tear-jerker. But this... my heart is in pieces.

I thought it'd be another typical romance, conventional for the likes of a genre. But no. I was moved by her, by him, by them. All the ranges of human emotions were treated and truly lived. The actors were perfect, the chemistry incredible, the music absolutely on point, the writing *chef's kiss*.

This 14-episode format is perfect to convey all there was to convey, not too long not too short, not too fast not too slow.

Just watch it and enjoy.

I'll admit that at first, I agreed with some of the other reviewers about lack of chemistry with the leads. In my opinion, the series started out a bit disjointed and choppy. A few of the early/middle episodes too. But the last third of the episodes really are what made me connect more. Emma had gone from least favorite to favorite and I was really surprised. Her development really flourishes throughout. I'm glad I stuck with it because the ending really was impactful. I binged this series in one day and I enjoyed being wrapped up in these characters lives. It was a beautiful and fun escape with so much of real life represented. Great series.

One of the best things I've seen in a while , Binged it over the weekend, brilliantly acted , their magnetic chemistry pulls you in and makes you feel as though you were right there with them. And with a soundtrack so sublime , it had me laughing, weeping and smiling, with a perfect level of nostalgia and incredible acting that makes you binge in the entire show in one sitting. Love how they portray friendship and love and the end is absolutely as heart-breaking as in the film and book. One of those shows that will stay with you for a while after it's finished. Just brilliant.

If you like depth, if you like love, just watch it.

I haven't read the book, but I did watch the film when it came out and while I loved that, I enjoyed watching the series as well. I felt like they've shown us a bit more of Emma and Dex's moments that weren't really there in the movie (probably because of the time constraint). The story will obviously be the same as the movie because they're both based on the same book, but the series does have some extra scenes that weren't in the film. I also thought both actors had great chemistry, not sure why the other reviews didn't think so, but I could feel the attraction and tension between them as well as the beautiful friendship the characters share. My heart did break for them too; this story gets so real and relatable in so many parts, which is why I love it so much.

I've seen the male lead playing a very different character in the White Lotus, so it was nice to see how he pulled off this role so well too. I did not like Dexter as much in the movie, but in the series, your heart goes out to him. Excellent performance by Leo Woodall. Also, he's very good looking. The female lead was great too, could see the yearning and longing in her eyes.

There's hardly any bittersweet and beautiful romantic content being made anymore, so I was thrilled that they made this series. Give it a shot, it's lovely!
