Lenny Abrahamson and Hettie Macdonald direct 'Normal People,' a 12-part Hulu adaptation of Sally Rooney's second novel. Read the review of the series starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal:
can seem like a cosmic joke. Against all odds, two soulmates find each other in high school, have toe-curling sex every day for several months, get into and attend the same selective college, end up in roughly the same social circles…and constantly break up, sometimes purely by accident. When they're at their lowest, or their loneliest, Marianne and Connell always return to one another. But they never seem able to stay together.
Rooney's novel is intensely interior, tracking the high highs and low lows of Marianne and Connell's inner lives. Divided into twelve half-hour chapters, the adaptation arrives burdened by prestige-TV trappings, which is to say that the production is unassailably handsome and disappointingly anesthetized., I think, is its literary treatment of a story that is at its core a teen melodrama, even wish fulfillment.
Connell's single mom works as a housekeeper in Marianne's home, but it's still him who feels like he's got everything to lose if news of their relationship got out. In an augur of things to come, Marianne responds with detachment. "Is there anyone you have a crush on in school?" she asks him in bed one day. Connell responds in disbelief, "I'm still inside you.
