Un jour

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!

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.

Didn't expect to go to bed at 4 am but it is what happened. I couldn't let it go and I NEVER binge usually. I was: ok, just one more... one more... one more... Couldn't let it go.

The character are engaging, the story captivating, the acting sublime and the music brought me back to those years. Might be that I was about the same age on the same timeline.

Impressive all over. Leo Woodhall prestation is incredible. Those 2 are amazing actors, not a doubt. So intense and light at the same time, Writing was on point while visually pleasing. All over a perfect dosage of what we rarely find in cinema nowadays: difficult topics, events and feelings addressed with elegance and grace.

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.
