Normal People

Based on Sally Rooney’s best-selling novel, Normal People is an exquisite, modern love story about how one person can unexpectedly change another person’s life and about how complicated intimacy can be. It follows Marianne and Connell over several years—both from a small west of Ireland town, but from very different backgrounds—as they embark on an on-again/off-again romance that starts at school and continues through college, testing their relationship as explore different versions of themselves.

Quick Thoughts: This has got a hell of a pedigree. Sally Rooney’s book was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. They have Hettie Macdonald (who directed one of the greatest Doctor Who episodes, Blink) and Lenny Abrahamson (who…just go google him if you don’t recognize the name).
