Unpopular opinion. I thought, from the hype of Twitter, the show would be great. I don’t want to shit on everyone’s parade but Normal People is utterly boring.
Predictable story about two of the most boring people on earth thinking their relationship is so scandalous when it really isn't. Their problems would be solved if either of the main characters could hold an adult conversation instead of assuming the worst about every situation.
Normal People is very repetitive - literally just the same concept in each episode - Connell and Marianne are with new people, then broke up with those people and hooked up, got into fighting …. repeat. Cut 12 half-hour episodes into a 2-hour movie and you won’t miss absolutely anything from the plot.

@cutecruel But that's what life is like, isn't it? So many things in relationships are predictable to other people, and their problems could be solved by adult conversations. But they're not. Which is why the novel is called "Normal People", and not "Utterly perfect extroverts who always know exactly what they have to do."
