Normal People (Hulu)

[wild_turkey 3187]

 

Based on the book by Sally Rooney. I read the book on a whim, which is a very quick and easy read. Then stumbled across the series on Hulu by accident. It’s only 1 season, 12 episodes, about 25-30 min each.

 

I thought it was really well done. It’s a romance story with a serious tone, not your average romcom cliches. The characters are well written and the lead actors (Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal) were both excellent in their roles. Plenty of sex and they weren’t shy about filming those scenes.

 

I didn’t see it mentioned here so wanted to recommend it or curious others’ reactions if you have already seen it.

It was great, really brought out all kinds of emotions. Wife and I blew through it during quarantine last year.
