It's cool to see how the intimacy (and awkwardness) of Marianne and Connell's relationship is translated from the page to screen. They definitely captured that ineffable spark between these two beautifully. Connell is an absolute dolt (affectionate) and Marianne's insecurities sneak through without feeling overwrought.

I do wish we got a bit more from the girls thought. Hopefully we'll have the scene at the club because I did find that fleeting solidarity between Karen and Marianne in the book beautiful and a great contrast to Connell's relationship with his lads.

A fun show addition was getting that flash of Marianne and her mother connecting and her brother icing up because of it. So intrigued how that breakdown of the Sheridan household will be portrayed.
