I wonder if Sally Rooney watched Phantom Thread and thought I should rewrite Normal People to have hateful characters just like this, then added an affair and some non hetero elements so it wasn't totally a copying her own homework exercise. That's not to say this is a bad show. It's shot beautifully and highlights important subjects we rarely see. Plus Dublin looks great. However my first thought on finishing it and my abiding memory of it will be; well made but overall a bit shite.
