Camilla Long The Times (UK) Mar 4, 2024
... It is absolutely, incorrigibly, resolutely awful. I don’t mean comically awful, I mean literally the end of culture. Go to Full Review Geordie Gray The Australian Feb 17, 2024
This is a rom-com at its most delightful: warm, witty, and occasionally, quite devastating. Also, it must be mentioned, the soundtrack rips... Go to Full Review Nadira Goffe Slate Feb 14, 2024
If the 2011 film was hard to watch, then Netflix’s new rendition is absolutely excruciating—but this time, it’s a compliment. Go to Full Review Ed Power Irish Times Apr 8, 2025
As a freewheeling trip through the decade of rave, Britpop and absolutely no smartphones, One Day is a blast. Go to Full Review Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post Dec 23, 2024
With stellar performances and a narrative that balances intimacy with sweeping emotional resonance, One Day transforms a beloved story into a deeply affecting series. Go to Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof Sep 16, 2024

Amelia B @amelia.bennet1 Aug 25, 2026 Look up the ending before you watch it and then decide if you still want to. Complete waste of time. Wonderful acting by Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall, but that doesn't save it. See more Priya S @RT53088987 Aug 23, 2026 Cried a bunch but loved it so much! See more Linnea S @LinnChaunches Jul 3, 2026 The Netflix series was absolutely wonderful. Oh my heart 💔 See more Anonymous A @anonymous8185 Jun 28, 2026 Definitely much more of a slow burner than the original movie - which was probably intended with a limited series. Acting in my opinion was far better than the Hathaway film which I also enjoyed. See more Sophia M @RT42502270 Jun 9, 2026 The most beautiful, heart wrenching story I’ve seen in a long time. See more Nicola L @RT81668082 May 21, 2026 Absolutely loved One Day. Funny, emotional, devastating — one of the best things I’ve watched in ages. I was completely hooked! See more Read all reviews
