Netflix viewers admit they will 'never get over this series' one year after its debut

Netflix subscribers are still harbouring emotions from an evocative series that arrived on our screens exactly one year ago today.

The series is an adaptation of a 2009 heartfelt novel penned by David Nicholls, charting the decades-spanning romance between two university graduates.

Post-graduation, Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley strike up an inseparable bond, deciding to maintain their connection.

With each instalment, the audience gets a snapshot into Dexter and Emma's post-university existence, marking the same calendar date annually. Over the course of 14 episodes, their journey navigates through professional struggles, substance misuse, and their intertwining love for one another.

While this narrative once made it to cinemas in 2011 featuring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, it's Netflix's rendition that truly captured fans, achieving an impressive 92% Rotten Tomatoes rating, a stark contrast to its cinematic counterpart's 37%, reports the Mirror.

The series in question is none other than One Day. This limited series became a phenomenon across social platforms after its debut on 8 February 2023.

In just a fortnight, it amassed a remarkable 15.2 million views on Netflix, with praise for the romantic saga continuing a year on.
