One Day

To be honest, I do not share the general dislike of Ambika. Yes, she didn't beat Anne Hathaway, but she played it well. But Dexter is probably even better than in the movie. Not worse for sure.
I was wary of turning on the series, but it turned out quite well. Maybe I'll reconsider it sometime.
And the series for me became more of a movie, a story more about Dexter, about his evolution, the main guiding star of which was Emma.

It so happened that I watched the movie just a week before the release of the series, so the memories are very fresh, and it was easy to compare. I expected a flurry of indignation about the choice of an actress for the role of Emma, and I can partly understand the discontent. It is difficult to compare her with Anne Hathaway in terms of acting, charisma and, let's say, appearance.
But despite this, the series left a pleasant impression. I really liked the actor who played Dexter; it seems to me that he fit into this role more organically. Additional scenes, which were not in the film, allowed the story to be revealed more deeply.
Sylvie was some kind of caricatured bitch in the movie, but here's a real person.
In short, the series has many advantages.

Emma looked very beautiful at the wedding) sad moments in the maze 🥲

What a crazy family...

At this stage, they could have already built a relationship. People like Dex have their heads cleared up by the time they're 30 and they're ready for a more or less orderly life. But now the three are at the stage where their relationship is forbidden, and after all, initially nothing hindered them except themselves. Yes, and Emma has achieved something in life and her slightly arrogant attitude towards the cruel world has subsided. And their kiss is not perceived at all as something wrong, but on the contrary as a sincere impulse of feelings restrained for many years.
