What can fans expect from One Day episode 1?
Going by the trailer, One Day is a story about love, separation, and reunion. Episode 1 is expected to establish the characters and give fans a reason to empathize with their journey.
Given the genre, One Day is likely to feature a few breezy romantic exchanges between the protagonists and explore their equations with their respective families.
However, the focus will primarily be on the events that transpire when Dexter and Emma spend time together on the biggest night of their lives. These sequences are likely to reveal their reasons for not taking their relationship to the next level and set the stage for the subsequent episodes.
One Day episode 1 is slated to premiere on Netflix on February 8, 2024.
