I binged the lot and loved it, anyone else watched it already?

It made me laugh and I bawled my eyes out at the end.

I was surprised to see such scathing reviews as I enjoyed it loads, some bits were nonsense but it wasn't a documentary so I let that go.

I was properly fed up with it! Watched it straight through from a poorly snotty sofa. I wanted it to be lovely and it just wasn't!

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 16/02/2024 12:29

Oh what a shame, mind you everyone's raving about One Day and I though that was shite 😂

I loved it

ComSci · 16/02/2024 16:27

Im on episode 3 and honestly it’s awful. She is so horrible and I just don’t see they have any kind of bond. It’s just so weird.

ComSci · 16/02/2024 16:28

I mean obviously I will watch it all, but I’m not finding it believable.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 16/02/2024 16:33

Celia being a a good enough dancer within two years made me chuckle I must admit 😂

I agree .. found it much more watchable than One Day for some reason !

NotmyfirstRodeomyfriend · 16/02/2024 22:39

Just finished on the same week I finished One Day, loved both.

Stupid question though, what happened to the baby when Alice got ill, did she lose it? 😬

Scrambledchickens · 16/02/2024 22:49

Gave up as she was just so annoying, as soon as she reappeared when he was married with baby, just didn’t believe in it.

Milsteen · 17/02/2024 00:24

What a load of baloney. Will somebody please put me out of my misery and just tell me how it ends. Just finished episode 5 but not sure I’ve got the strength to continue!

I presumed she had to terminate to continue with treatment.

Surely they'd had picked up she had cancer before they went ahead before insemination? Seemed a bit arse about face.

Just finished it. Loved it, just as much as One Day.

Crispedia · 18/02/2024 21:40

I have just finished it. I know she was a very damaged person and for that reason was not good for Jack but I nonetheless bawled my eyes out at their love story and ending. I thought it would end as it did, so many pointers in episode 5.

Netaporter · 18/02/2024 22:07

Loved it. Was everything emotionally that One Day should’ve been as an adaptation but wasn’t.

Babymamamama · 19/02/2024 18:18

Just finished this. Omg what utter twaddle. So many script clangers, clunky language and zero and I mean freezing cold negative chemistry between the two main leads. But prior to this I enjoyed both One Day and All of Us Strangers in the same week. Both masterpieces compared to this. So maybe I was expecting similar level of quality. I hope the script writers and whoever did the casting for Alice and Jack have a stern word with themselves.

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 19/02/2024 19:32

I actually liked them both. Which clearly puts me in the minority

Isn't it funny how people enjoy different things? I thought One Day was tosh as there was no chemistry at all 😂

TheOGCCL · 19/02/2024 21:31

I've watched two episodes and can't face any more. Also stuck half way through One Day with no motivation to continue. Sounds like they have quite similar endings!

Milsteen · 19/02/2024 22:01

Just finished it. Load of tosh. I didn’t see any chemistry at all between them, just lots of intense, staring looks from Alice to Jack. What did he actually see in her?

And why on earth would he agree to go to her wedding.

DillDanding · 19/02/2024 22:33

We watched the lot. No idea why. Perhaps we thought it would improve.

Utter tripe. There was zero chemistry between them and Alice was so unlikeable. I’m sure we were supposed to feel sad, but we just wanted it to be over.

thesugarbumfairy · 19/02/2024 22:43

I turned it off after the first minute or so as i already disliked her character. I may try again tomorrow...or not.

Member984815 · 20/02/2024 12:39

Aisling bea was good 👍

diddl · 20/02/2024 15:21

Just read this in the hope of seeing spoilers as cba to watch any more!!

(Managed 2).

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 20/02/2024 15:28

@diddl they circle in and out of each others lives, he gets divorced and she nearly gets married but gilts him as he isn't Jack.

She decides to do IVF. They end up doing it the national way and get pregnant. It looks finally like happy ever after but at her first scan it is discovered she has cancer.

She dies and he has an underlying heart condition and dies on a park bench outside the hospital the morning after her death.

They are buried in graves next to each other.

The end
