The Netflix series One Day has become a hit on the platform, captivating audiences with its heartfelt storytelling and relatable characters. This TV miniseries remake of the 2011 Anne Hathaway romance film has captured the attention of viewers worldwide.

Just like its predecessor, the One Day TV show tells the story of two teenagers who meet on graduation night and fall for each other. Their budding romance is overshadowed by the impending reality of going their separate ways the next day. The emotional tension and uncertainty of their situation make for a captivating narrative that keeps viewers hooked.

The success of One Day on Netflix is evident in its ranking on the global top 10 for television. For the week of February 5 to February 11, One Day claimed the impressive third spot with 5.3 million views. While other popular shows like House, Love on the Spectrum, and Young Sheldon have established themselves on the charts, One Day managed to make its mark in a short period of time.

It is worth noting that One Day was only released on Netflix on February 8, meaning its viewing numbers were counted for less than half of the top 10 period. This fact alone makes One Day's achievement even more remarkable, as it climbed its way to the top despite the limited time frame.

What also sets One Day apart is its genre. While the charts were largely dominated by crime, procedural, and mystery shows, One Day stood out as one of the few romance programs. Netflix has had success with romance content in the past, with franchises like The Kissing Booth and To All the Boys I've Loved Before captivating audiences. One Day benefits from being an adaptation, drawing from the dedicated fan base of the original Hathaway film. Furthermore, Anne Hathaway's star power has only grown since the release of the original movie, attracting more attention to this series.

Based on the novel by David Nicholls, One Day is a romantic drama series created by Nicole Taylor. The story follows Dex and Emma, whose lives drift apart after high school. However, they reunite once a year, on the same day, as their lives move parallel to each other. This decade-spanning love story delves into the complexities of love, heartbreak, and the bittersweet experience of growing apart together.

As One Day continues its run on Netflix, its success seems poised to endure. With its touching narrative, relatable characters, and the combination of Netflix's romance draw and an existing fan base, One Day has set itself up for continued triumph. So, if you're in the mood for a captivating love story that tugs at your heartstrings, give One Day a watch on Netflix and get ready to be swept away.
