One Day on Netflix… bingeworthy

[Anonymous]

The Dexter in the movie practically cries like a baby after the skinny dipping scene when the kids steal his clothes.

He’s so unlikeable and not remotely masculine or attractive. Bad casting and character development.

I don't think they needed to cast a supermodel, but her personality lacks interest or charm (at least early on), so it's hard to see why they would have had such a deep connection early on and continuing over the years. I'm still early in the series, so maybe this changes.

I wish they would have cast a less obviously annoying and more handsome Ian in both the series and the movie.

Lazy to make him so offputting and easy to use/leave.

I started watching this but found it so boring and uninteresting. Slow, unfunny, unremarkable story line.

It picks up and the characters become more endearing.

I actually think the actor does an amazing job throughout the series. The last episode is a masterclass in how to end a story—even a sad one—with closure and positivity.

The locations and various settings in the series are far, far better than those in the film.

The “are you there, Moriarty” scene in the film is hilarious.

The film makes both lead characters seem pathetic.

He slept with Tilly in the film.

And Emma is just unfocused and lacks confidence.

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.

The movie cuddling with a cad read as believable to me. (Don't ask me how I know )

The film is better when it comes to the scenes in Paris halfway through.

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

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

yep, I think it's the clothing, tattoos and I think he's skinnier in One Day. Maybe by 20 pounds?
He is smoking hot IMHO.

The accident scene in the film is brutal.

I like the way the series handled it better.

And I’m glad there was some diversity in the series.

The film was made in 2011 and it was totally white.

Yes! I think he is really the star of the show. The way he delivers his lines and expressions is incredible--he makes the character incredibly complex and interesting.

I think she's well cast once you get past the first episode. There is ZERO way he would cross a room to meet her in real life.
But I can completely see them falling in love over time. I like to think that this type of thing happens.

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.

I started watching then the premise seemed familiar and i realized it was a remake of the Anne Hathaway movie.

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.

I spottede it was a remake too, so that alerted me to the twists too
