About

"A twenty-year almost-love-story that sneaks up on you"

Two graduates, Emma and Dexter, share one charged night after university and then reconnect on the same calendar date every year for two decades. Across fourteen tightly written episodes the show tracks how their friendship, timing, and mutual bad luck keep pulling them together and apart. It's warm, funny, and quietly devastating, carried by two performances that make the will-they-won't-they ache rather than annoy. The pace is gentle and conversational, more about small moments and missed chances than plot, building to an emotional gut-punch many viewers see coming but still aren't ready for.

Watch it for

the lead chemistry that makes two decades of near-misses feel earned and heartbreaking.

Maybe skip if

you dislike slow-burn romances or want to avoid an ending with a real emotional wallop.
