Plot Synopsis

Based on John Marrs' 2018 book of the same name, THE ONE is a sci-fi crime drama series 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. But as business booms at her DNA-based matchmaking service, co-creator and CEO Rebecca Webb seems unstoppable -- until a body is found in the Thames. Facing a murder investigation, Rebecca and James reunite to get their stories straight. Netflix released the entire eight-episode first season of THE ONE on Friday, March 12, 2021 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT.
