A Netflix romance about an American student falling in love with her Oxford professor has got Brits furiously hot under the collar – 17 first degree burns

The trailer for a new Netflix romance has been causing quite a stir on Twitter, but not necessarily (definitely) in a good way.

It’s called My Oxford Year about a young American who comes to study at Oxford University where she falls for a ‘charming local’ played by Corey Mylchreest, a romance that ‘profoundly alters both of their lives’.

One year can change everything. Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest star in My Oxford Year, premiering August 1

And there was something about it – actually, everything about it – that got Brits seriously hot under the collar. And these 17 people surely said it best.

Americans come to this country in pursuit of the fantasy portrayed in this trailer. They leave complaining about how they were “chased out” of Five Guys in Preston 15 minutes after it had closed. https://t.co/Poz02lAJdL

Sorry a lot of this is worse than what I’m gonna point out but I can’t stop laughing at the “we have a student here all the way from New York.” Oxford gets students from all around the world because it’s fucking OXFORD. Why would they care about a student being from New York. https://t.co/tpkMxM8lOq

Ah yes, another “love ruins the career woman’s perfect life” plot. So original.
