s01e07 — Episode 7

The further into the forest, the more I dislike Emma performed by Ambika Mod. While Leo Woodall demonstrates just the perfect Dexter. And that makes it so hard to watch. Because I kind of want to watch him, but I have to watch her too.
It was shot wonderfully, the characters are complex, the dialogues are very cool! Making episodes of 25-30 minutes was a great idea, by the way, too. But damn...I don't mind that Emma looks different than in the book, I don't even mind that her character's character is different (perhaps because of the acting), but Ambika gives out such a dull performance, just zero charisma...

Dexter told me the facts about Emma. Her look down on him has been annoying since the beginning of the series, he's an old-fashioned guy with a pretty face, and I'm smart

I also agree that Emma has a touch of arrogance, and she really thinks Dexter is handsome, but stupid. Although he did everything to ensure that such an opinion was formed about him. But he's also behaving very rudely now, even though the dude is just addicted already. Actually, it was in the series that I realized that I was surprised how these two people could become friends and that they had sold out for so many years. And then I remembered: they had initially liked each other, and yet friendship was a compromise, when one or the other backed down. Although in their youth, nothing would have worked out anyway, so the friendship option is really better.

It's a little infuriating how Emma reacts to Dexter. As if he was being condescending, irritated all the time. In all episodes, but in this one, it's just completely. He brought her to a great restaurant, and she's sitting there with a sour expression, as if he brought her to a pub. Could we just chat and enjoy the evening, why the fuck would we behave like this? I don't know if this is the character in the original. And the fact that she was worried about his condition, she could have put it another way.

At first, I was angry that they didn't insert this phrase, as it was in the movie. But then I saw how Dexter started telling Emma everything (about the case), and I realized that she wasn't needed here.

not well, in the restaurant he behaved as much as possible like an asshole, I'm sorry...... if I had been ignored / constantly interrupted and then not apologized, I would have thrown a tantrum much earlier than Emma 🤠

how well it all started and it was easy to look at them and how hard it is now.
they perfectly conveyed the crisis of friendship and relationships

The moment when Dexter seems better than Emma. I remember my disgust for Dexter at that moment, both in the book and in the movie. But what he said to Emma sounds like the truth. Because this Emma looks down on everyone with some kind of contempt.

Finally, the good episodes. And she's right and he's right. There are a lot of emotions in this series. Very vital.

I haven't read the book (I really wanted to watch the series), but I love the movie.
This scene didn't Show Me How fucked up Dexter was at all, but how Emma became a complex snob who looks down on everything and everyone, constantly with a disgruntled face.yes, Dexter was also not a saint in this series, but for me here it is Emma who is "bad". I can't see Ambika playing not only a good game, but even any attempts
As we wrote above, I want to watch Dexter performed by Leo, but but…

Yeah, this series is a total flop compared to the movie and the book. For me, Emma was not so bad in previous episodes, but here, of course, it's not that at all ((This is such an emotional scene, but it turned out to be quite smooth here.

It's terrible even on rewind. It's nice to look at Dex, he conveys the character perfectly, but Emma…… that she is not outwardly attractive, that her game is monotonous from series to series. No other emotions except discontent and contempt/arrogance

Everyone has already written about how terribly Ambika conveys emotions and how well Leo plays, but I will also say that the actor playing Ian is very cool, he plays very convincingly, and there is some kind of log with one facial expression between such cool Dexter and Ian 😔

All the most emotional moments were fucked up by the actress, who is just stone-faced in every scene. Sadly.

of course, I understand that in today's tolerant world we all have to accept everyone as "beautiful", but I really want at least something (in this case, CINEMA) to remain beautiful, with beautiful faces... well, I can't look at THIS Emma, all the time in front of Anne Hathaway's eyes, although Dex is very good in the series.
For me, the impression of one of the most beloved love stories was ruined.😭

I am also disappointed by this film adaptation, but numerous comments about the actress playing the role of Emma could have already been left after the first 3-4 episodes. There are other things to discuss besides the one that everyone wrote about.

So what's wrong with him? Well, I told you about the case anyway. She always looks down on him, like he's such a cute fool and doesn't know how to do anything and doesn't understand. And it's also sad that Dex is constantly shown to us under something, it's terrible. I hope he pulls himself together in the next episodes. (I haven't read books, I haven't watched movies)
