It's wonderfully written stuff from the show's creator, Victor Levin ("Mad About You," "Mad Men"), electric and quasi-screwball and makes you want to stick around yourself—even if you think the comparatively stable Jack should be heading for Hampstead Heath. Navigating the obstacles, they fall in love, profoundly and convincingly.

I have watched all of it and, while it is not as moving as One Day, it takes you on an intense journey with an unforgettable denouement. Both leads are excellent, but she [Andrea Riseborough] gives it the heft. It's not perfect but it is raw and honest, and if you make it to the end you will be rewarded, though not exactly cheered.

It manages to be preposterous and deathly at the same time. The dialogue is pretentious. The last five minutes are completely stupid. The only bright spots are the two supporting performances, from Aimee Lou Wood as Maya, Alice’s capable assistant, and Sunil Patel as Paul, Jack’s colleague.

Clunkiness extends to every person stuck in the toxic orbit of their will-they-won’t-they. If the series accomplishes anything, it captures the sensation of romantic tunnel vision convincingly enough, though that could be by accident; the supporting cast surrounding the leads is stock generated from Romance Mad Libs.
