| No question, but do you really believe a boy that good looking and popular falls in love with her? That’s nuts. If she had a winning personality maybe. |

I agree. Much more appealing. I guess he's just that good as an actor. |

| I think the casting worked. But only because there's a lot of life between the one days. Their deep relationship was what made him so attracted to her. Otherwise she would have been just another one night stand. But she wasn't because she really did care about him. And no one else really did. |

I’m on episode 11 after bingeing yesterday.
I struggled with the first episode because I thought she wasn’t pretty enough to catch his eye. But as the show went on, I found it much more believable. Why? He dates another woman of color. He also tells her he likes everyone…which makes sense. But like most movies, the premise is time and proximity at a critical point in time fosters love. The graduation night/next day they spent together forged a friendship with an undercurrent of attraction and love. The decades of letter writing cemented it. I think they made her look more bookish at the start for an opposites attract bit. Anyway, the entire premise of the show has been done a million times before. It’s basically the “After” series with a more likeable british guy (and less sex). I just hope it ends well. I’m worried they will throw a sad curveball into the mix. |

Because he’s not covered in nasty tattoos and dressed like an ahole. |

The difference in character work is striking too. Talented guy. He and Meghan Fahey must be the best-looking couple in Hollywood right now, though they do look weirdly like siblings. |

Ok. I don’t like the twist in the second to last episode, but I figured something like that would happen.
I liked the beginning of the last episode where he visits his father. Spot on. |

I love a series like this that provides closure.
The last episode was beautiful. PS - Tilly was a gem throughout. Brits make terrific shows. Truly. |

You’ll be underwhelmed. The series doesn’t really have sex scenes. |

| I'm surprised no one so far has compared it to the movie! I'll need to watch this.. |

I’ll go watch the movie now. I have a vague recollection of seeing it when it was released…and wondering why they cast Anne Hathaway…and I believe there was a meme of running joke about how she gets it at the end. You can rent the movie for $3.99. |

Just started rewatching the movie, and the show is better since they spent the evening talking and made a connection. The first scenes of the movie are rushed…no connection.
Why are they cuddling when they just met? Forced. |

I mean, because cuddles are nice? College? I wouldn't now, but college was a different time. |

The Dex in the movie is a real cad. Zero chance he would cuddle with a strange nerdy girl he just met who wouldn’t put out. The series is more believable since the two spend an entire evening talking and getting to know each other. |
