Normal People - Season 1
This drama series examines the path of a strange relationship between Marianne and Connell from the end of their school days in a small town in western Ireland to college years at Trinity College. It is a distinctive relationship that reflects the course of their lives together, as there is a strange growth in their relations together, and it is an indelible development in the relationship between adolescents, although they face a tragic reality.

Normal People is beautiful. It sweeps you up in its arms, capturing the very essence of the book .

"Normal People" could be the first work in Rooney's "Before" trilogy, another epic and intimate romance built around an undeniable, impractical spark. After all, it may have been done before, but it hasn't been told like this.

If "Normal People" seeks to impart a lesson to its audience, it is this: Always forgive people who never change.

Hulu's Normal People is a vivid and intimate look at young, messy love, anchored by two powerfully vulnerable performances.

The beauty of the novel is that so much between its protagonists is left unsaid, but perhaps it might have been better if the BBC had left the literary version of Normal People to speak for itself.

The 12-episode adaptation... is so faithful to the letter of the novel (Rooney co-wrote the first six scripts) that it winds up being different in spirit-swoonier, not that swoony is a bad thing.

By keeping the camera tight, director Lenny Abrahamson allows us to see every emotion, perfectly capturing the intensity of youthful love.

The show finds emotional power in its finely modulated lead performances, which have ample room to unfold. The effects are sneaky, cumulative, dependent on your willingness to agonize with the characters across four years and a series of sloppy partings.

Occasionally, their inability to simply express themselves frustrated me, but Edgar-Jones and Mescal do such a good job of communicating the tortured feelings bouncing around in their characters' skull that you recognize the misery they're going through.
April 22, 2020
Matching the compulsive page-turning quality of Rooney's novel, this 12-part TV romance is anything but normal.

Normal People will punch you in the gut just as much as it embraces you in a hug.

Normal People is beautifully acted, atmospheric and sharply detailed. Six whole hours, though, feels like a stretch.
