    Woodall and Mod are excellent, together and alone. It looks and sounds great (the array of Eighties, Nineties, and Aughts music is killer), and there are some fine moments and even whole episodes. But Dexter and Emma each wonder at different points why it’s taken so long for anything to happen between them, and the structure of One Day will likely leave you just as confused and impatient.

    The series spans nearly two decades over 14 meandering episodes, before tripping over one last iffy twist on its way out. But the spark between Emma and Dexter burns bright enough throughout to make the ride more enjoyable than not.

    The result is a story that is beautifully depicted, yet can at times feel unbalanced and frustrating.

    Despite the increased depth of coverage their relationship receives, the show never quite manages to land a true emotional sucker-punch. Those watching for the novel’s famed tearjerker quality will find the show front-loaded with the petty agonies of early-career life, and rather lighter on the sweeping romantic undercurrents of the star-crossed source material.

    But ultimately, Netflix's One Day lacks the charm of Nicholls's One Day. Despite chunks of dialogue being lifted from the source material, the author's voice is lost and with it, its brilliance.
