Orange Days Episode 1

Still wonderful after more than 20 years

I am watching in 2026 and I love it. I found this series at Netflix and wanted to drop it at first because it is pretty old and I thought quality and style might be out-dated. So glad I didn't. It's one of those gems you are sometimes lucky to find.

The Oranges are good

Great first episode. Lovely set up of the lead characters and their world. Pretty relateable too. It wasn't so long ago I was in the exact same boat as these young people so I'm already quite curious to see how this plays out.

The Orange and the violin

This is my third watch of Orange Days. A drama which doesn't rely on twists or suspense, can be viewed time and again.
Whenever you feel like immersing in the life of a group of young people who could be us all, you should give this one a try.
Great first episode, which sets the pace of the whole show beautifully and introduces a sassy, intelligent and charming female lead.
