Another remake, this, and another successful adaptation. One Day, based on the cult romance novel by David Nichols, follows two soulmates who find their paths diverging and intersecting until life and the powers that be finds a way to keep them together. 

With a clever narrative device that allows each episode to take place over the course of just one day in every year from 1988 to 2000, the heartbreaking but tender romance explores the lives of two perfectly imperfect people who seem destined for each other despite all that's put in their path. 

Anchored by the sincere performances of stars Ambika Bod and Leo Woodall, One Day has all the highs and lows of life written into its story, which offers frank discussions of love, fate, career trouble, identity, addiction and grief that no matter where you are in life, there'll surely be something here for you to connect with. 

At times desperately sad, frequently very funny, and always breathtakingly honest to its characters and their lives, One Day is not a show you want to miss.
