I'm new to the story so not coming in with any pre conceived ideas on how I think the characters should be cast in my minds eye. I loved the nostalgia and the soundtrack is great, it could be my Amazon music playlist, it's a beautiful story thats wonderfully acted. The chemistry between the two main actors is sublime. I think there would be a miscarriage of justice if there isn't plenty of nominations come awards season. Leo Woodall does a great job with a character that could be very unlikable in other hands and what can I say about Ambika Mod's portrayal as Emma? Just perfection, I think one of the best and most engaging performances I've seen in a while. Also I should add a tremendous cast outside the main two characters, I was so invested I needed to know what happened to the likes of ian. Can't praise this show enough, a must watch.
