Gosh so many amazing moments. When Connell breaks down after the Debs, knowing he ruined something incredibly special for people who didn't matter, when they see each other at Trinity for the first time, the therapy scene, News Years party, the ending... So many more! Incredible performances and direction. Lenny is a master at realism.

I'm glad Daisy got some praise for the photoshoot scene in Sweden, but can we appreciate how utterly phenomenal Paul was as Connell in the therapy scene? It's so ridiculously hard to play grief and regret to that degree. I've never seen anybody play an introvert so convincingly and remain so magnetic to watch. he's an incredibly gifted actor.

There are so many incredible moments in the series, but I keep thinking about the scene where Marianne and Connell are discussing their futures. Connell jokes with Marianne asking whether she would pretend not to know him if they went to college together... and a beat later you can just see his face as the irony and cruelty of what he just asked sinks in. Connell’s visible yet veiled guilt, and Marianne’s awareness of it all as she delicately but unflinchingly answers, no she would never pretend to not know him. Such a heartbreaking, brilliant moment. I’m in awe of how they were able to communicate so much with so little. Incredible acting.

I was late to the party with Fleabag but adored it from the very first episode and as you say had the same feeling for this as I did for that, it felt so different to anything I'd seen before.

When they were together, Connell and Marianne became their best, most normal selves. As they both said, "It's not like this with anyone else". What a wonderful connection they had.

Is there anything more amazing than watching two absolutely gifted young actors delivering a performance that will absolutely launch their careers into the stratosphere? Beautiful people with bright futures! It must surely win at least one Bafta.

The first kiss, the tender moments over Skype, Connell’s heart wrenching therapy scene, the misunderstanding about him wanting to stay at her place, when she tries to drunkenly seduce him, the cross in the road scene when he changes his mind, reverses and goes to see her, the eye contact, ALL OF IT!!!

Loved the relationship between the two leads. Also really loved the realistic portrayal of the family abuse Marianne faced and seeing her struggle with feeling damaged and not loveable because of it and how that seeps into her sexual life. Hopefully this will help girls with these issues feel more self compassion and perhaps less judgement from others. And love that Marianne encourages him to leave at the end as she has enough self worth to be able to live without him.

The scene where Connell and Marianne are on Skype might have been my favorite. Connell said he hadn't been sleeping but he was exhausted, then Marianne stayed on call with him so he can sleep, and when he woke up she had put her laptop on the bed. That was such a nice, sweet scene. I also really enjoy all the shots of Marianne and Connell studying and reading, those really round them out as hardworking, intelligent characters. Finally, the scene where Marianne asks Connell to hit her when they're in bed, and Connell can't do it. That's such a sad, alarming moment for Marianne, but Connell is such a wholesome contrast to the other horrible guys Marianne had been subjected to. Sorry for being long-winded!

@patriciax5951

Connell was a complicated character. His ability to control Marianne without cruelty was very attractive to her. That scene where he refused to hit her reminded me of a joke we used to tell. What does a sadist say to the masochist when asked for a smack? No.

I cant stop thinking about this show!! The acting was insane, so real and relatable

The scene that absolutely made the show for me was when Connell was looking at everyone in a party from a pool. Really looking at these people probably thinking who are all these people. And then he turns around and see Marianne, his face lifts.The feeling was so tangible. He then swims towards her.

Definitely has to be binge-watched. This is a deeply moving and realistic story which everyone can relate to. The acting of the two leads is absolutely superb. I found it completely absorbing and I’m so pleased it’s available in these bizarre times. The development of the characters is so true to life and Daisy and Paul get under the skin of their characters with skill and professionalism I haven’t seen for a long time on the screen. Well done to both of you for a wonderful performance .

bumdog hmm no, Helen trashed Marianne when she said M enjoyed, even courted the gossip/attention. That was the end of her. ; )

I'll be honest, being Irish I was initially intrigued that a deep drama like this was being produced. I'm not in Ireland anymore, but it seemed to mark a milestone in an Irish-set drama. I was drawn by the themes and the mystery over where their relationship was going, and why Marianne's family was the way it was. I guessed there was abuse, and wondered if Marianne had killed her dad! Watched them two or three episodes at a time, but seven or eight episodes in I was balancing frustration at the caginess between them ("Just tell her you love her!!!!" kind of thing) with a waining desire for answers. By episode 11, I thought 'I'm not getting this, but I'll keep watching, because I'm 5/6 in. The last two episodes I found REALLY moving. Little exchanges between them, in the context of what had been before, suddenly had SO much power. We never find out the back-story to her family, but spending time with Connell's family became everyday and yet so life-transforming. The ending was appropriate - not together happy ever after, but a resolution to a lot of things, and a sense that, no matter what, things were going to be ok. Beautiful emotions.

Your on-screen chemistry is captivating. Thank you for giving us something to not only watch but FEEL.

Daisy is so beautifully hypnotic to watch and listen too!

I'm in my 60's and I was in tears at times, willing Marianne and Connell to 'find' each other. And agree with so many comments about the Connell therapy scene where he almost literally has to rip out from within himself all his grief and his trouble connecting with the world. It left me uttery drained, as he just emptied himself. Goodness. And Marianne's heart breaking belief she can't be loved. I found myslef in love with both characters. I noticed someone below people asking for recommendations about films/TV with similar themes. Try the lovely coming of age films 'The Year My Voice Broke' and 'Flirting'. both Australian films directed by John Duigan. The central character is the same in both movies, Danny Embling (played by the young Noah Taylor). The first one is about his first love when he lived in a small Aussie outback town, and then 'Flirting' when he's at Boarding school (the film also features a young Nicole Kidman and Thandie Newton). They are slightly lighter and with humour but both (and especially the first film) really do tap in the agonies of first love and are both very nuanced. You can see Flirting first without reference to TYMVB but it just helps to have done so with a couple of scenes in the secpnd film

One of the best shows I’ve seen. I had to watch it a second time. I just loved the way the leads were so articulate in explaining their feelings even when they didn’t understand what their feelings meant. Second time I watched it Made me understand Connell a lot more.

I think one of the reasons Normal People has been so popular has been it has treated sensitive subjects.in a completely open & fresh way! Also it is taking us into the modern world. I found it very compelling & still read the book& watch my. favourite episodes over & over again ! Never. have done that in the past; or is it because I am over’80? Maybe the standard has improved - I don’t really think it is just that, I really think it is the superb acting. by.new comers! The excellent subject & superb acting by Daisy & Paul especially but not forgetting all the other actors who seemed so real - in particular Sarah Green,who played Connell’s Mum - she gave warmth to some difficult situations. Altogether a memorable production! I wish to say that Paul was incredible for someone so new to these long productions. I sometimes wonder if he was a known actor in disguise (I just don’t understand how he gives such amazing performances for one so new to us all).

So so popular surely there has to be a second series. OK we dont want to spoil the spell which has been created but what has happened is that Series One has wormed its way into the hearts and minds of viewers and readers surely we cannot be left in mid air to fill in our own ending to this wonderful series one.

i love this cast so so so much i love hearing them talk about these characters!!

I hope that I see both of you in more movies together. I loved the non emotional/emotional of these two in the actors. Y'all did great. Congratulations, on a great turn out. Please make more to this Series. I'm getting the book to enjoy the whole experience of Normal People.

What is it about Normal People? Like many others who watched the series, I feel bereft? The legend has gone down to the next generation. I gave the book to my oldest grandson who is studying for his Masters in computing security at Birmingham Uni along with his girlfriend who is with him for her PGCE! . They have both said that hopefully they will be able to watch the episodes on BBCiplayer when they can find time between lectures & assignments. So the fame of this exceptional story has travelled to the next generation - what a compliment to the story, but also to the actors! ! It will be difficult to adjust to seeing them in a different story., but that is the essence of acting! Margaret

Lovely Interview of Daisy E-J in which she really showing her maturity. A beautiful women with and prodigious talent. Mescal has now spoken of his pride in his co-star after she was nominated for a Golden Globes award. He wrote, "“Could not be prouder of you my friend.” What a great guy!

Normal people has the same emotional intensity as Blue is the Warmest colour but from an Irish perspective without the language barrier

There are many young actresses and actors who are very humble like Emma Mackey, Daisy, Hailee & few others, hoping money or fame doesn’t get the best of them when they older.

Watched it live! Was so good

Their personalities seem very much the same as they are in the shows. Which I love. Great performances.

I have read the book and it made me cry, Then seeing the TV series was even more moving, which isn’t always the case! The portrayal by the young actors was absolutely brilliant and perfect in every respect it was like reading the book all over again but in Technicolor. It bought it dramatically and realistically to life so to speak ! Loved it! Particularly liked the scenes in Sweden as know that area. Beautifully filmed in all locations,! Very well produced in all respects. A Triumph!

When I listen to Paul being interviewed about his background & training, he displays great intelligence & caring which is a reason why he is so popular! What a great gift to the acting fraternity! I will certainly miss watching him! I guess he will soon.have rock star popularity.

I thought it was a very accurate and authentic portrayal of young people in modern Ireland

My heart is yearning to see Paul Mescal & Timothee Chalamet in Call Me By Your Name’s sequel! 💖

After I watched one show I was hooked had to watch 6 in a row. Then the rest the nex,t day. Thought the ending wasnt the best.

I am so fascinated by Paul & his performance! He clearly has something special about him! But also his incredible talent has NOT gone to his head! He is clearly a very strong minded person & hopefully his fame will not spoil him in the future! What a charming young man! I have also seen the fun side of him Rocking to The Rolling Stones playing Scarlet (originally made famous by Jimmy Page - see this on UTube)

Daisy looks so stunning 😍

The worst, just as Paul said, was when he told her he'd asked someone else out. "Not romantic'.. How can such a lovely guy do that to the woman he loves.. OMG powerful...

I wonder why the ending dialogue of season 1, episode 6 has Connell saying that Maryanne will probably want to see other people, but in her recalling of the moment, lying on her chair in episode 7, she remembers him saying they should see other people. Is this an intentional decision to show how people recall conversations differently?

Lenny kinda looks like Bono

Paul - I have mentioned this before! Have you thought about performing in a Shakespeare play with some other well known actors? Just to do something completely different? It would overcome the difficulty of our perception of you as Connell forever & ever? I have seen some of David Tennant’s adventures with Shakespeare which have been excellent Margaret

I wonder if there will be a season 2? I really wanted to see them together in the end. I was so sad about how S1 ended. Also I felt like entire chapters of the book could have been expanded more.

There won't be a season 2, unless Sally Rooney writes a second book but she won't. Sometimes things are best left as they are, a piece of art. If Normal People became a show that got new series you'd eventually come to tire of it and it would sour the original series. The story is told, there doesn't need to be anymore. P.S. Sally Rooney has a second book out called Conversations with Friends which is also being adapted into a series.

Had daisy worked on indian film "Rise roar revolt"which is due for release next year she probably wouldn't have been able to work on Normal people. I think India missed a great actress. There was probably a clash of dates for her to get involved with both.

i will leave, i will stay

I found the show to be a bit unrealistic in that I don't think two people that in love would have such poor communication and would be willing to let the other person go so many times. With that said, the two actors made it really watchable. I think I will actually rewatch it because it's so well done. I particularly enjoyed the portrayal of anxiety with Connell and the portrayal of being a loner/low self esteem in school like Daisy.

I am very confused! Having watched Normal People Episodes & other incidentals over the past 2 weeks - will the real Paul (Mescal) stand up? i hit on the Scarlet video about 2/3 weeks back, mainly because of the connection with Jimmy Page! when it was first heard in the 70’s. Pity we can’t see him play live any more! (Jimmy has a daughter named Scarlet born in the 70’s when Led Zeppelin were at the pinnacle of their career

Didn't like the ending. After rooting for them to sort their shit out and be together all the way through, it was disappointing and unsatisfying for it to end with another north Atlantic sized wedge driven between them.

It was more about them growing as people and letting each other go as part of that. Marianne finally said no to Connell. After always saying she would do anything he wanted. She found her own happiness and didn’t want to leave that life behind. One of the only times that she ever actually did something for just her. With Connell he finally had the belief in himself that he was good enough and that he could achieve his dreams. They both helped each other grow as people and be the best versions of themselves. But I agree I was really rooting for them to be together. But I suppose it’s that while first love concept. Where it completely consumes you but in the end, for most cases, it’s just not meant to be. You have to move on with your life and let go. Where you promise forevers but ultimately life gets in the way.

Noddles 1990 a brilliant summation of the series first time I have ever binge watched a series that was after just watching the first programme. Lead actors simply superb. Cannot see there being a series 2 unfortunately.

James Davidson I felt like it could go either way. But Marianne told him not to promise anything because they don’t know where they’ll be after his year away is up. I’d like to think they found their happiness though

I’ll miss Paul putting his hand out to carress the top of Marianne’s head.
