Netflix’s new series “One Day” has become a phenomenon for the platform. It’s not only the most watched show on the platform globally, it has also been well received by both critics and audiences. A big part of the success are the great performances from its two leads: Ambika Mod, who plays Emma, and Leo Woodall, who plays Dexter.

Woodall’s portrayal of Dexter has earned him the attention of media and fans. While Dex is a good-looking carefree child-man, the character undergoes a really heavy transformation fueled mostly by heartbreak and grief. And Woodall excelled in both stages. It was precisely Dexter’s silliness and vulnerability that drew him to the part, “It’s just a beautiful, beautiful story, and it has this legacy already,” he told Tudum.
