What I like most about this exquisitely judged series, aside from the two leading performances and a supporting cast that includes Tim McInnerny, Amber Grappy and Eleanor Tomlinson, is the light-touch storytelling.
In spite of any bumps along the way, One Day is overall a satisfying, swoon-worthy ride.

The story is still very authentic and very thought-provoking.
Over the course of the season, the two protagonists change a lot and grow through many different depths, which they share together in the fast pace of their lives.
You can't help but get excited for all 14 episodes and hope that Em and Dex will eventually manage to stop standing in their own way and become happy.
This production touched me deeply in some scenes and encourages me to perhaps be more courageous in my own life here and there, so that I don't have too many regrets at the end of my life.

This is a wonderfully touching, emotionally intimate series with a stellar cast who are note perfect throughout. While I have not read the book on which this was based, dipping in and out of Emma and Dexter's relationship on the same day each year for 20 years is an incredibly effective way to move the story along gently while allowing these two characters to grow and mature individually and giving weight and depth to pivotal moments in their lives and in their relationship with each other.

It is a will-they-or-won’t-they rom-com? Is it a friendship story? Is it a saga about moving into adulthood and figuring out your life and your priorities and enduring heartbreak and loss? Will it make you cry? Yes, it’s all of those things, and it manages to capture all the muddled, complicated, aching emotions of them all.
While you may need a suspension of disbelief, the show sails past those awkward continuity elements because the writing and the two main actors have such a command of the central relationship. The show also expertly captures the mood and wayward feeling of young adulthood sliding into just plain adulthood.
The series spans nearly two decades over 14 meandering episodes, before tripping over one last iffy twist on its way out. But the spark between Emma and Dexter burns bright enough throughout to make the ride more enjoyable than not.
But ultimately, Netflix's One Day lacks the charm of Nicholls's One Day. Despite chunks of dialogue being lifted from the source material, the author's voice is lost and with it, its brilliance.
Had a predictable plot for the most part. However, there were some major twists, especially at the end, which I did not see coming. Some of the story elements just seemed too convenient, but it can be forgiven, given that such things are common in this genre. The series gives better treatment to the material than the movie, as it spends more time on the characters, their feelings and motivations.

Leo Woodall & Ambika Mod play graduating college students who connect one nite. There's an undeniable chemistry, but he's off the Europe, so their friendship remains distant. The story follows the on/off developments of their relationship on the same day every year. Will they got deeper or just remain close buds? Woodall and Mod not only capture the frisson that keeps promising more, they turn in nuanced and captivating performances. Some episodes are more compelling than others, while the narrative sometimes seems to wander off course. (It's taken from David Nicholls' novel.) Also, her family is mostly ignored, while his gets supporting roles. Thru it all, this duo is the show's strong point and their evolving relationship is what makes this dramedy most effective. NOTE: This is not to be confused with the 2011 film of the same name.
