One Day

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.

Might be the only person who had never read the book or seen the movie before I came across this show on Netflix. First, I was not sure about their chemistry immediately but this is a slow burn and by the 2nd or 3rd episode I was rooting for them, hard.

This was a great show that made me laugh and certainly made me cry. It was so well done and the acting is quite impressive. For those lamenting that this was an unnecessary remake - a series allows the viewers to get a full, in depth picture of the characters and their stories, which is always difficult with a film. Also, I wouldn't consider t a remake as much of a second adaptation of a book.

Perhaps I loved it so much because I'm new to the story but...Watch it.

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 Day is worth a binge.

The episodes don't feel forced or too long. They're the perfect length. The ending is beautiful and so is the acting by the main characters.

. Starts off like any college rom-com and makes you think it's gonna be a story of 2 people meeting years after college and falling in love but, One Day takes a very refreshing path of storytelling.

. The showroom does a great job of showing how Emma and Dex grow up very close to eachother yet keep growing apart at the same time. When they finally get married, all you want is for them to have a cookie cutter fairytale ending.

...

I'm new to the story so not coming in with any pre conceived ideas on how I think the characters should be cast in my minds eye. I loved the nostalgia and the soundtrack is great, it could be my Amazon music playlist, it's a beautiful story thats wonderfully acted. The chemistry between the two main actors is sublime. I think there would be a miscarriage of justice if there isn't plenty of nominations come awards season. Leo Woodall does a great job with a character that could be very unlikable in other hands and what can I say about Ambika Mod's portrayal as Emma? Just perfection, I think one of the best and most engaging performances I've seen in a while. Also I should add a tremendous cast outside the main two characters, I was so invested I needed to know what happened to the likes of ian. Can't praise this show enough, a must watch.
