Modern Love (TV Series) Strangers on a (Dublin) Train (2021) User Reviews

Smiled all the way

[noblegill · 8/10 · 18 August 2021]

Either I am going to create fake scenarios in my head before I sleep or someone's needs to tell me how it ends. I NEED TO KNOW. Modern love version of Before sunrise.

Strange ending

[hazangel-89910 · 8/10 · 13 August 2021]

...to an otherwise decent episode. Hopefully there will be some closure in the upcoming episodes....

Nice but also... surreal?

[paolapnd · 8/10 · 22 August 2021]

For everyone who is asking about the real story and how it ended, I found the answers online, but really, it's better to leave it this way. Savour the inconclusiveness of it.

I love that this is the first TV show/episode that includes the pandemic and its storyline. It is so weird to relive those first days of confusion through the eyes of these two strangers...

MODERN BEFORE SUNRISE BUT DOESN'T HAVE A SEQUEL!

[tarantula-95460 · 10/10 · 13 August 2021]

Just one thing. We need the rest of the story, please:') Let's make a whole another tv show for this couple, please.

Tell us the rest!

[Lostsoulfly · 10/10 · 13 August 2021]

I need to know what happened! Did they reunite? Did they fall in love? Was she really the love of his life?

Game of thrones?

[mervenurguuler · 10/10 · 16 August 2021]

I laughed at "like Game of Thrones?" question :D Yes, it is a modern times before sunset series and I wish we saw the end..

The only one that met my S2 expectations

[AfricanBro · 10/10 · 18 August 2021]

This is the only episode that made me feel mushy inside. I wanted it to continue, like I'd watch a whole season of them. I was annoyed at the ending because there wasn't one but I think it's great to keep us guessing. I don't know if it actually deserves the 10/10 rating but it's the only episode that I feel is as good as those from season 1.

Me smiling and laughing all the way during the episode without prepared for it to end just like that

[the_flightlessbird · 15 August 2021]

Mr. Director, you better give us the alternate ending or we'll break the two-K limit and riot.

WTH

[kmb76710 · 6/10 · 15 November 2021]

I wanted to give 10 stars, but the ending was a disappointment. I loved the GOT reference, and loved the whole "meet cute" thing. Character development was pretty good. It's good to see that old dude from Midsommer made it home ;)

A bit of magic, really.

[caitriona-shanahan · 10/10 · 17 August 2021]

Catches the way we speak in Ireland perfectly. The accents of the predominantly non-Irish cast were impeccable. Light, funny and yet reminds us of those desperate days in March 2020 as the reality of the Covid pandemic set in. Particular kudos for the Ban Garda (female police officer). Smiled all the way through, and left smiling at the end. Do we get to see the perfect reunion? Who needs to? It was all pre-ordained.

Cute, Funny and Relatable

[Moechi · 7/10 · 19 August 2021]

I've never seen a single Modern Love episode before and thought this would be some boring and clichéd RomCom. But I was pleasantly surprised.

It was really cute and funny with an interesting open ending that leaves you wanting more.

I think Kit Harington fits perfectly in these type of shows/movies. Lucy Boynton was great, as well as the rest of the small cast.

Disgustingly cute and refreshing

[melodyso · 10/10 · 21 August 2021]

I loved everything about it. The honest internal monologue. The witty conversation. The Train Choir. The mid age smoke effect. The before sunrise reference. The family convo. The Note/Audio Recording. The real police. The lock down gym reference. The lovely neighborhood. I hate that I can't see if they reunite.

But this honestly lights up my world. I haven't enjoyed a show in so long. This is so smart and wholesome<3 What a masterpiece.

Not great

[irenelaf · 6/10 · 19 August 2021]

It's a lockdown but cops at a roadblock are not wearing masks. Come. On. (On the bus too). Annoying to invest time to watch a story that doesn't even have an ending. If it had any kind of ending I would've said ok cute and give it 7 but it didn't.

Good but where is the rest

[imbarrand · 5/10 · 31 August 2021]

Loved it till it ended with no conclusion! I know they are based on real life stories, but at least add an actual ending.

WE NEED A CONTINUATION

[robertsstephanie-78695 · 10/10 · 25 August 2021]

I want closure, did they meet eventually? If so was the connection still there? How long did he live in the car?

You can't leave me hanging like this!!!

This is more like it.

[totallyhot78 · 8/10 · 20 August 2021]

Great leads. Funny script. Genuinely likeable characters. One of the best episodes so far. Some have complained that they didn't get the conclusion they wanted, but I think you have to use your imagination in this case. Highly recommend this one.

Pretty damn funny

[louismeynadier1 · 9/10 · 14 August 2021]

This is probably the most unique episode in the show as it isn't as grounded in reality like the other episodes. This almost feels like a parody of a rom-com. It's certainly the most comedic episode of the bunch. Most of the jokes worked for me and the actors were great. Lucy Boynton is very likable and the Kit Harington-Jack Reynor duo is terrific. I do feel like the episode could've been more than what it was and the ending is a little frustrating but this was easily one of the strongest episodes of the season. Definitely the most enjoyable one.

The Ending Can't Take Away The Magic

[pansapien-20640 · 10/10 · 10 September 2021]

Best episode of season 2! Yes, the ending was difficult to digest. An entire show predicated on one pivotal moment, and then to leave viewers unfulfilled seems ill-advised.

However, the magic was there throughout and should not be overlooked. The characters played off each other fabulously. Whimsical, poignant and entertaining, your attention was demanded from the start.

As much as I'd like to have seen a "proper" resolution, I think the clear conclusion can be made; no one would go to such great measures only to not run the ball in for the touchdown. I enjoyed the process and the journey for what it was: a desperate attempt to find our way to what we want despite unforeseen obstacles while still attempting maintain belief in something magical.

And yes, the Game of Thrones reference was fantastic, despite the fact that I entirely missed it the first time ( I didn't realize it was Kit Harrington--duh).

sweet dreamy perfect

[aaamm-68946 · 1 September 2021]

Sweet as all Introversion dreams and the ending is perfect .

Oh my god i dont enjoy any thing like this month.

I dont like you if dont rate it 10.

This one irritated me

[crystalousdawn · 7/10 · 5 August 2022]

Like honestly, at this day in age, who wouldn't exchange numbers? This one just annoys me. Like especially during a pandemic. Why would you not want to be able to text each other while under lockdown??

DONT TESLL US THE REST

[bikipramanic · 10/10 · 23 August 2021]

Everyone expect rest of the story .But its good not know about the rest of story, it is not that what we expect so just feel the love.

Delicious

[ThisIsSumeyra · 10/10 · 18 August 2021]

I don't approve when someone says delicious to non-food relating things, however this is the only think I can say about this episode. I immediately wanted to know who wrote it. Also being from a totally different country i am in awe to see how similar conversations we have had. Schools going for a two hour break, not being able to travel beyond a certain limit. I think anyone being through this time peri will watch this with a smile on their face. Spoiler alert ! This episode got me on Laura's inner monologue at the begining.

No ending

[jomalley52 · 5/10 · 14 August 2021]

I wish that we saw what happened to this couple before it ended.

PLEASE DO A SEQUEL IN SEASON 3!

[kfgfktflytghflg · 10/10 · 29 August 2021]

This is such a charming story. It's funny, romantic and so disgustingly cute you'll be smiling ear to ear the entire time you watch it.

Why ?

[mustafamertc-78860 · 8/10 · 17 December 2021]

I will never understand why it ended like this. They should definitely come together. At least they should have looked. I didn't expect it to end like this.
