ONE DAY on Netflix

Anyone watching One Day? I read the book by David Nicholls back in 2009 and enjoyed it so much that I deliberately avoided the film version starring Anne Hathaway trying to do a Yorkshire accent.

But ... I decided to give the new version on NF a try, and it is lovely and beautifully acted and now that I'm getting close to the end I am starting to feel bereft already.

Just a tip - have your hankie ready!

Is it easy to then unsubscribe?

You can watch both One Day and The Dig with a free trial to Apple TV.

It was a ‘must Watch’ on the Must Watch podcast. However, I don’t have Netflix. I also want to watch The Dig but that’s on Netflix, too. Looks like something else I need to subscribe to.

I haven’t read the book, but loving this series.
Great soundtrack too.

Not seen this yet, I'm thinking of a binge tomorrow.

However from what I've gleaned this storyline sounds a bit like Same Time, Next Year, which starred Alan Alda.

One of my favourite films I think.

Loved it, brilliant characters & such a lot of emotion. Brings back memories of life pre mobile phones when we talked to each other and phoned people on the landline.

I agree it’s fabulous. I’ve read the book and watched the previous film, but this version certainly is outstanding.
Although I obviously knew the ending, the way it was adapted still had me enthralled and shedding a tear.
Up there with ‘Love Story’.

In the Netflix series Dex read Anthropology.

He even did computer science - this is too weird! Although GF didn’t do English

😮😮😮😮 I’ve just started watching it and the two students at the beginning are almost identical to my GS and his girlfriend.

Not sure I can continue - it is making me embarrassed! 😮😮😮

Absolutely loved it, great acting.

Watched all episodes today, really well acted.

It’s on film4 tomorrow (Valentine’s Day) at 6.40pm, for anyone without Netflix.

Just finished watching it and I loved it.
As others have said it’s a bit slow to start with but you soon become hooked.
So emotional.

Sparklefizz Tue 13-Feb-24 17:49:56

I agree sago - outstanding!

Sago Tue 13-Feb-24 17:47:39

It is outstanding.

Oh to be young again!

Have got a post it note in the corner of my tv screen to remind me to watch it! Read the book years ago and loved it.

TopsyIrene06 Tue 13-Feb-24 15:09:30

Loved it especially the two main characters. Ambika Mod is a favourite of mine having seen her in "This is Going to Hurt" with an equally (spoiler alert) sad ending for her.

Happygirl79 Tue 13-Feb-24 14:59:24

I binge watched the whole series and thoroughly recommend it to everyone.
It was so beautifully acted and the main characters were very obviously carefully chosen to make it work well.

Bridie22 Tue 13-Feb-24 14:20:28

Onto episode 4, loved the book and I'm enjoying the series.

Thankyou for the recommendation Sparklefizz, I shall look forward to this as I too loved the book, I'll ration myself to one episode at a time as it sounds more-ishsmile
