Normal People is an impressive series that uses its own style and does not look conventional. Actually, each episode shows a different period in the lives of Marianne and Connell. In the beginning I had some trouble with it, because what really brought those two together and a little later they were already in bed together. But with every episode you felt in everything that the two have a history (with each other) and that they each try to follow their own path to discover zcizhelf and the world. Yet the two cannot live without each other and the mutual desire for each other remains hidden under the skin.

Both have completely different backgrounds. Connell is popular, but poor and Marianne is the odd one out, but grew up rich. But neither of them are comfortable in this role and all the money in the world doesn't seem to matter if your mother and brother are rotten inside. Of course, they also make a lot of mistakes in their "relationship". Where you might consider that annoying with poorly written productions, it works with Normal People. Both Marianne and Connell are imperfect and fight their inner demons, so you understand why they have such a hard time expressing themselves and feel their inner conflicts natural.

Gradually, the relationship also changes and you actually roll with both main characters for several years. This goes so smoothly that you hardly forget that sometimes you are months or even half a year further. In addition, the playing time of about 30 minutes per episode is very good, so Normal People does not drag on and it does not stay too long in possible pitfalls that lie in wait.

The series ends very bittersweet, as mentioned above, but it is also the only ending that is appropriate for the series.

Very impressive, watched it in 1 day!

4.0*

Almost six hours of cinema and only a face-to-face "I love you" at the very end.
Film, however, only talks about friendship, relationships and love.
A lot of admiration for the direction and camera work to portray the two protagonists with such precision, naturalness and emotion.
A wonderful movie.
A series of beautiful, striking and sensitive scenes in which Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones act astonishingly. Revelations of recent years, I would say.
A film about doubts and insecurities to the shock that love and happiness might one day wane. The pain within being happy.
The film's closing leaves a wide opening for a sequel and if it comes, hopefully of the same top-notch as this one.
