I binge watched and I’m unable to say goodbye, so here I am

[@gebruikersnaam.31]

So that makes two of us then :)

[@sooyuaa__4005]

Do you know where to watch it other than netflix ?

[@kotipola]

Same hereee😢

[@lemmylaineyjames72]

same

[@aksharathomas372]

Literally same

[@jesbair-hill]

She said she was shy and awkward and no one noticed her. He was super popular and charismatic in school. Basically, they ARE their characters and I love that lol.

[@leahsalter17]

the definition of perfect casting

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

Literally. They’re adorable

[@aqilaali2354]

They’re legit Emma and dex in real life 😂

[@Sam-fz8nf]

THIS

[@deniseclevenstine1712]

I agree

[@justarandomlondoner]

Anyone else finished binging the series and is now watching all the interviews to cheer them up after that heartbreaking final episode 😭

[@serenarathore7093]

Me!!

[@Jasmine_Sangma]

Me! Today.

[@leticiagaleanotannouri]

Me! Everyday

[@sonalmurarka4773]

Me 💔

[@rachelfarias9366]

That’s totally me right now 😢

[@Dearangellacy]

Ambika is so similar to Emma! She makes jokes with a straight face I love that abt her. And Leo is such a bby girl he’s so sweet

[@estefaniaalejandra5567]

bby girl is so accurate 🤣😩

[@deniseclevenstine1712]

Leo has such a sweet nature and that showed in the softer side of Dexter, the real acting for Leo came with the out of control entitled coke head which he played brilliantly, their on screen chemistry reminded me so much of “ the way we were” with Barbara Streisand & Robert Redford back in the 70s

[@nimmeria]

@@deniseclevenstine1712 I agree with you 100%. I've been thinking about it all series and was surprised that no one writes about it. "The Way We Were" is also a film that I really love, and I can review many times, in many ways the characters are very similar. Stories end in different ways, in one day - more fabulously, in the story of Katie and Hubble, the end is much sadder, because they still broke up.

[@enanefy]

@@deniseclevenstine1712yeah, I think this is why the character was more likable in the show than the film, as you can see his charm but also a soft side shining through

[@peachykwin]

This series absolutely WRECKED me

[@lorrylau9264]

Me too. Just finished it. BAWLING 😭

[@smsmsm33434]

I cried during the entire last episode and about half an hour after.

[@whitemilfcharlene8703]

@@smsmsm33434literally. Was balling so hard other people could hear me😭the ending was FUCKED 💀

[@alinad8686]

This seriously needs some awards. Everything was too beautiful.

[@charlotted1321]

The chemistryyyy 😭

[@justinnebathan]

If they don’t win the Emmy’s next year, I will be mad.

[@Nimesay1]

They better

[@sarcasticsree]

Yes !😅

[@adv.nadiabadat1154]

Yes, each need to win an Emmy and each need to win a Bafta. Nothing less will satisfy.

[@itsbeaferreira1]

I'm here to say they weren't even nominated 🥲so unfair

[@gaiamorgosi7181]

I’m watching the interviews so that I can laugh and recover and know she’s alive, it gives me some kind of comfort.

[@nicholasmurugan]

Same here😭😭

[@Katijaaj]

She's like the perfect girl to play the character she's playing because I feel she's like that in real life. A knowledgable and very eloquent girl, such as Emma

[@AR12345]

I could feel their chemistry… still rewatching 😅

[@ameenah724]

I love Ambika doing the shoulder shimmy😭😭 2:54 Makes the answer even better

[@ermeeleer]

The way his face turned red when she teased him about winning 2 awards 😂

[@spicycatsandthings]

the way when he’s talking about Love Actually, and says “huge crush”, and cue quick glance at her. but this read could just be me pining and crushed over one day.

[@lolsaXx]

This series was fantastic! They could go so much more in depth than the movie was able to. I binged it fast. Great casting, great acting, great script and great production. 👏

[@earthtonikka]

they’re like a pair of cute best friends i love them

[@karenloucamanag6750]

The hand brushing ambikas shoulder after the uni real life story is just so so kind and sweet hahahaha

Idk but we need to pair them up together again for other movies or series

[@vaybedumb]

YES

I really enjoyed the chemistry between those two, actually I loved it. And the music is so very nice! Like the beautiful songs of Joan Armatrading “Love and Affection”, “Save Me” and Lilac Wine performed by Jeff Buckley. So nice chosen, hartbreaking🫶

I should have done this. Instead I spent the entire episode balling my eyes out😢

[@Lanesgummy33]

Honestly his acting was fantastic, the portrayal of his pain and grief was so heartbreaking, I had to finish it. Losing the person who saw through him but loved him anyway. It was heart wrenching I cried so so much.

[@Belfastboi]

Ok you probably shouldn’t have written that. God I wish I didn’t look at the comments. That’s ruined it 😢

[@willjNZ]

One Day, it's A1 in my book of must-see shows on Netflix, as I wrote earlier, I felt we were dealing with the same growing up issues we all face, lack of maturity being a biggie, especially in this particular storyline. You could be forgiven for thinking Emma is streets ahead of Leo in the grown up area. In my opinion, you're wrong of course, they are both lost in the valley of self-awareness, problem with that is, there's no such thing as a valley of awareness, so I guess, that they are still caught up in the 'it's all about me and how I feel about everything BS.' Neither of them know it, but they are pretty much on the same bus, the same ride, but being so much more interested in themselves, they are looking for a night off from the same old ride, and we all know what 'ride' means for Leo, a regular journey, a bit of part-time travel away from that most frightening of things, growing up. Emma's the same, she's just decided to not be as obvious as someone like Leo, and has opted for the scenic route! Somewhere, lost in all that growing up, which involves an awful lot of self-centred thinking and behaviour, these two people, have, and they are totally unaware of it, because self has a habit of hiding the most interesting, and sometimes the most important things at precisely the right, or wrong moment, in this case, it's right, because they ain't ready for what this might turn out to be. The Charles Dickens quote says it all, does it not! I've noted comments such as Leo carries it, that why I watched it right through, that one was enough to make me gag on me coffee, ya what, I thought? Wouldn't it have been more authentic to say something like, I fancied Leo, I wish I was Emma! Now, back for what I settled for! The thing is, this film/show has a rare chemistry in play, it's not often you see it, whoever supervised the casting knew what they were about. But, the genius is in the telling of the story, so after giving the actors their fair dues, and they sure deserve the high praise they are both getting! There are three stars in this series, your two main actors, and the writer of the original book, David Nicholls, after watching this particular Netflix series, I intend taking a look at some of this author's other work. Might I suggest, if you can get it in your area, hemisphere, check out ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE, another Netflix series, different, significantly from ONE DAY. But, like ONE DAY, I've got to say it, it's special. The original author is Anthony Doerr. Mr Doerr won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for this particular Tome, an award, I would have say, that is very much deserved. Same thing happened with this series as happened after I saw ONE DAY on Netflix, I immediately went out and purchased the book, very smart of me to have done so, what a marvellous book, what an incredible imagination Mr Doerr has! Different genre, yes, but both writers share the same immensely thrilling ability to write a captivating novel! Such a treat!

[@JeanCruz-jq5tv]

Dare I to say, Leo is the next Brad Pitt? I'm loving this new generation of actors!!
