The One (2021)
The One is set five minutes in the future, in a world where a DNA test can find your perfect partner -- the one person you're genetically predisposed to fall passionately in love with. No matter how good your relationship, which one of us can honestly say we haven't thought about whether there is someone better out there? What if a hair sample is all it takes to find them? The idea is simple, but the implications are explosive. We will never think of love and relationships in the same way again. The One launches on Netflix March 12.

    Loving this!

    Interesting concept and enjoyable. Hoping for a season 2!

    Like the idea but the focus is on the wrong thing

    Wish it was a bit less crime/ business drama, which is boring, and instead more sci-fi scenarios of the technology surrounding matching and its consequences. Like we get it, it's a corporate thing, but we don't want to see meetings and their boring business relationships to each other. The real juicy stuff is in how the world would be affected by a matching program and what could go wrong.

    Give us less CSI and more Black Mirror.

    The One Black Mirror missed

    This series was captivating from the start as it explored a question that is often asked. Is there "The One" out there for everyone? The reason I am not rating higher is because there is a huge missed opportunity to explore the concept much deeper.

    The science is only touched upon to a small degree which means we are left with an ordinary crime drama. Although it has interesting characters, smart storyline and good acting, there is so much potential that could have made this rival any black mirror episode.

    The momentum has been lost so a second season would hopefully reignite the initial intrigue and focus more on the science of attraction.

    The book was better

    I totally LOVED the book. The characters, the character development and all the twists and turns.

    I wished the script would have been closer to the book because it would have made it so much more interesting, and I now have only more questions than answers.

    I'd recommend the book over the series.

    Pretty enjoyable

    For the first time in a long time, I don't understand the bad critics. I binge-watched it in a day and never was I bored. The plot and sub-plots are very interesting, it's well-acted, well written, what's not to like?
