Normal People 2020
I do not think the plot was very strong, to be completely honest. The portrayal of trauma and insecurity and how they affect the characters' relationships was well-executed, but other than that Marianne and Connell are both simply terrible communicators, causing them to break up and get back together every other episode or so. This was frustrating to me, but perhaps that's what the viewer is supposed to feel.
The acting, on the other hand, was just phenomenal and I am definitely adding Paul Mescal to my list of favorite actors.
