The One

I'm on episode 3...Great concept. Badly acted. Main character is like a wooden Disney villain. It's OK, but I wouldn't rush out to tell my friends to watch it.

Better than most Netflix series released in a long time. I really don't understand a lot of the negative comments; camera work is steady and decent, as well as acting. Characters are a little too flat, though. If you expect science fiction, you'll be disappointed. Otherwise it's a gripping relational crime/drama series around a very interesting and plausible futuristic theme. Absolutely deserves a 2nd season.

This series was captivating from the start as it explored a question that is often asked. Is there "The One" out there for everyone? The reason I am not rating higher is because there is a huge missed opportunity to explore the concept much deeper.

The science is only touched upon to a small degree which means we are left with an ordinary crime drama. Although it has interesting characters, smart storyline and good acting, there is so much potential that could have made this rival any black mirror episode.

The momentum has been lost so a second season would hopefully reignite the initial intrigue and focus more on the science of attraction.

Wish it was a bit less crime/ business drama, which is boring, and instead more sci-fi scenarios of the technology surrounding matching and its consequences. Like we get it, it's a corporate thing, but we don't want to see meetings and their boring business relationships to each other. The real juicy stuff is in how the world would be affected by a matching program and what could go wrong.

Give us less CSI and more Black Mirror.

I almost passed this series because of the bad reviews, but honestly it's worth a watch if you like series connected to literally science and you like fiction and a good plot. It's a good series where it shows how greedy people can be and are willing to surpass morality for it. Good actors and good storyline and it's not boring at all. I'm watching episode 5 at the moment.

Edit: watched all episodes, it was worth a watch and interesting storylines. I hope The One will be renewed for a season 2.
