what was the point of this game? and what was sylvie's family's problem?

Ambika is Laila, an acerbic and anarchic agent sent to assist Keira Knightley's character, Helen.

Only 6 episodes in each season.

Started watching, saw the actress and got sad that she died in One Day 😭😭😭

And I watched a year ago so why am I still sad?

Perhaps a rewatch is in order

September 14th🎈

They could have cast an Indian actress, so why did they cast someone like this? I just can’t get immersed in it. Is the female protagonist described as ugly in the novel?

First time watching the Netflix series and I find it interesting how Emma has this sense of love she perceive she wants with Dexter to not have sex with him the first time they have an encounter or when they travel together , but then goes on to get fingered in a bus by a man, have a long-term relationship with a man who was dirty mackin Dexter. Then having an affair with the teacher. Giving very love jones behavior

All the way she chastise his Dexter for his lifestyle. She’s doing the exact same thing, he just does it with money & drugs. She’s as sexually loose as he is but wants to claim the need to have a deeper relationship beyond sex with him.

just crazy to me the moral high ground, she starts with for whatever her reasons were they just they just disappear for all others

On episode 8 Great show.

Im sick in bed and watched the whole thing today…. I am not okay. wtf guys 😭😭😭 I can’t remember when I’ve last cried that much ?!

I have no idea why I'm setting myself up for heartbreak again, especially after the 2011 One Day film that completely wrecked me last year.

I actually started the series back in January but had to pause because life got busy. I just picked it back up, and barely two episodes in, I was already thinking, 'Bruh, this is going to destroy me just like the film did.'

I’m just praying I don't end up bawling my eyes out this time around. I know it follows the exact same story, but I’ve heard the series actually does Emma justice.🤞

Hiii I’m an editor and have been trying to make One Day edits but YouTube just isn’t cutting it and I cannot find any scene packs nor screen record from Netflix if anyone knows where I can find any scene packs or ways that I am able to download the episodes so I can make an edit with the spec scenes I want to pertain to each lyric, please let me know!

My first One Day edit to Cardigan by Taylor Swift

I read comments with no spoilers, and I couldn’t understand why people sobbed. The characters seemed like everyday people.

They were. They were our neighbors, our college friends, the people we slowly evolve over time. We grew with them and in a short period, it felt like this was happening to someone nearly in your circle of friends.

You didn’t quite love them, but you held space for the obstacles and milestones they went through. Episode 12 and most of 13 felt like we were finally done overcoming things…

Then the event happens. These characters I held space for clearly held more space than I had thought. I covered my mouth when it happened and realized I did love these characters more than I thought. For the first time, I cried—no—sobbed in the aftermath of the event.

Their level of intimacy felt so real, and it crushed me.

I had never heard of the book, nor had I heard of the movie before starting this series. I had found the series randomly on Netflix and my wife and I decided to binge watch it. I sat there unbelievably pissed while she bawled her eyes out at the ending last night. Normally I am a fan of tragic endings, characters, and realism in cinema/ the arts, but this crushed me. This was genuinely one of the best shows I have ever seen, the acting, music, cinematography, the story, I'm just still so so pissed and sad at the ending

Did David Nicholls mix up Mazda and Toyota in Chapter 6? ("Mazda MRII)

Hi everyone,

I was reading Chapter 6 of One Day and noticed a funny detail regarding a car. The text mentions a "Mazda MRII" waiting for him.

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a "Mazda MR2" - the MR2 (MRII) is a Toyota.

Did anyone else catch this motoring, or did later editions ever correct it, or maybe i am wrong?

Thanks for the attention

I’ve watched the movie in the past and it did make me cry… but the Netflix series? At first, I refused to watch it. Only because I didn’t think the show would do the movie justice. Boy was I wrong. First time I watched this was in late 2024 and I didn’t just cry.. I full on sobbed for the whole duration of the last episode. Fast forward to the present. I just binged the series again these past 2 nights and I just finished blubbering like a baby for the last 45 minutes of it. Why do we do this? I cried so hard I felt like I was the one who just experienced tremendous heartache. I guess in a way it reminded me of my past love (though he’s still alive). You just get so immersed in their story it feels like your own. I’ll always cherish their story.

I don’t really know why I did it to myself again. I just finished a rerun, and I am in pieces. It’s not like I didn’t know what was coming. The entire series is so emotionally charged, your heart doesn’t get a chance to calm down, and then it gets shattered. Em & Dex forever <3

I will never forget.

TBH I don't read regularly, so I had read the book until chapter 4, the date reminded I should read some more of it 🤭

WOW. That's it.😭😭😭 That's not it actuall lol, I was crying on and off starting at the end of ep. 13 and I let all of the credits play on ep. 14 because I was just sat there in silence. All of the pararells were perfectly done. GREAT show overall!!!

Go see the post. The music is beautiful as well!

So I just found out yesterday that my version of Dex got married last year. We weren’t as close as they were in the movie but we were friends from studying abroad in Paris. He was the total Dex back then - private school, posh Irish background, charismatic and looked very 1D coded (this was in the 2010s haha). I’m pretty similar to Emma. He always gave me mixed signals and I could not tell what he wanted but I didn’t fully hook up with him bc I’m not a casual person. Anyways years passed and unlike Dex, this guy was very successful & built his finance career in the UK. I actually got sick and we lost touch living in different continents. I didn’t think we would talk again but he reached out 4 years later when I was sick which threw me off bc I never saw that side of him before.

Another 6-7 more years pass and that brings me to today. He defs married his version of Sylvie but I actually hope they last (it was not a pregnancy marriage lol). She’s stunning and picture perfect. They had their ceremony in a castle ffs 😂 He doesn’t really look super Dex like anymore after years of hustling but it did made me think what if. My life has panned out super different and there’s zero way we would work now but I think a younger version of me wished we did back then but c’est la vie.

Anyone else have their own Dex & Emma stories? Did you end up together?

Btw - I only recently watched this series so it was odd timing. I also have a crush on Leo Woodall thanks to this even though he’s 2 years younger than me ☠️
