A year after its release, viewers are sharing their reluctance to rewatch the heartbreaking Netflix series *One Day*. The drama, based on David Nicholls' novel, told the decades-long love story of Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley, who reunite on the same day every year. Many viewers described the show as emotionally devastating, particularly due to its heartbreaking ending. Now, a year later, many are expressing their unwillingness to rewatch the series, fearing a repeat of the intense emotional impact.
Netflix viewers are steering clear from a drama series a year after it left them deeply affected. Based on David Nicholls' 2009 novel of the same name, the 14-part series * One Day * was released on February 8 last year. Starring Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod, it told the decades-long love story of Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley as they reunite on the same day every year.
At the time, many viewers expressed that they'd become 'emotional wrecks' and had experienced 'irreparable emotional damage,' particularly due to the heartbreaking twist at the end. A year on, many have declared they can't rewatch the series for fear of triggering the same intense reactions. This week, there has been a surge of posts on social media with people sharing their desire to avoid the show for the foreseeable future. One Day was based on the best-selling novel of the same name and starred Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall. 'I'm not going to lie, I watched *One Day* last year and I still can't even handle seeing TikTok edits about it. Rewatching it? ABSOLUTELY not. That show wrecked me in ways I can't even explain and I have ZERO desire to feel that again. I'm pretty sure my heart genuinely broke. I was emotionally out of it for like a week after,' one user posted on TikTok. Another shared, 'Now that it is February, it has been a year since a sixteen year slow-burn romance left me ruined and empty for weeks.' Meanwhile, others expressed similar sentiments, stating that they were still deeply affected by the show a year later. The rollercoaster of emotions and shock twist caught many off guard. In 2011, the novel was adapted into a blockbuster film starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. Last year, David shared his theory on why both the book and the movie resonated with the public. 'People made a connection with their own lives, relationships, and regrets. People saw themselves and their friends in the characters Emma and Dexter,' he said. 'It was quite an emotional book, and it was written with the intention of making people laugh and cry. It seems to have worked.' *One Day* is currently streaming on Netflix.
