Honestly if it wasn't Leo as the main lead I think I would've turned off after a couple of episodes. I really enjoyed the book and although I didn't love the film, I certainly enjoyed Anne Hathaway playing Emma and remembering disliking Dex a lot!
This series definitely puts a slightly different spin on the story, or maybe it's the actors and how they've portrayed Emma and Dex. I didn't like really Emma in this, she was overly judgmental, patronising and so negative. I was always on Dex's side whereas in the book and film, I didn't like him much....again maybe this is because Leo is such a fantastic actor in my opinion.
If you haven't read the book or seen the film, maybe I can see why some have given higher ratings but I have to agree with the low stars that the chemistry wasn't really there for me, not until the very end anyway.
