Netflix users have been left in a ’emotional mess’ after viewing the recently released One Day.
Based on David Nicholl’s 2009 novel of the same name, One Day depicts the decades-long love story of protagonists Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley, who reconnect on the same day every year.
The novel was made into a 2011 feature film starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, while the television series currently stars Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod.
Despite the fact that it was only launched yesterday, a large number of individuals have already seen all 14 episodes.
However, many people have suffered ‘irreparable emotional trauma’ as a result.‘Netflix will pay for its crimes! Making me believe in love and then rip out my heart afterwards. Anyways go watch One Day now streaming on Netflix and become the emotional wreck I am now after finishing the last episode,’ Sharronda Williams posted on X.
Many folks knew how it ended, so they walked in prepared, but they were anxious about how they’d react at the end.
‘Someone spoil this for me please, b/c if it ends the same way the Anne Hathaway movie ended I’m DEFINITELY not watching it. I don’t need that emotional trauma again,’ Kate commented.
‘One episode in and loving the Netflix adaptation of One Day. Just not sure I can go through the emotional rollercoaster which is to come!’ Rachel Mackie added.
Those who went in blind swiftly warned others.
‘Guys, don’t watch One Day on Netflix if you want to have a happy life (the show will cause you irreparable emotional damage),’ Pau posted.
‘Just finished the series One Day and I have never been more emotionally distraught. I have not read the book and, shockingly, have never seen the 2011 film adaptation, so I was completely unprepared. Tears are a flowing,’ Beth Torres Ruiz admitted.
Em simply said the series had her ‘ugly crying on a Thursday’.
Ambika said earlier this week why she ‘again and over again’ declined an audition for the part.
Speaking ahead of the show’s premiere, she described how she fell in love with the novel when she was 14 years old in 2009, but she promptly declined an audition.
‘I saw the email notification pop up on my phone: “Emma, One Day, self-tape” and I was like “Nah I’m not doing that”,’ she told Grazia.
‘I turned the audition down again and again over several months. I love the book so much and I just didn’t see myself playing that part. I thought it was a waste of time.
‘I envisaged the disappointment I would experience if I entertained this idea.’
However, after realising she had made a ‘terrible mistake’, she decided to audition and eventually secured the role.
One Day is streaming on Netflix.
