Authentic And Compelling Adaptation! Normal People (2020) || Miniseries Review@esther-emmanuel597d

If you want to drain my energy and make me moody, force me to watch a psychological film or show. I don't really fancy watching this genre in movies but in books, I could read and devour it. I don't know why, but maybe I will find out some day.

Few days ago, I was looking through my streaming site to see what I can watch and probably enjoy. Then I came across the trailer of ”Normal People”, a miniseries. From the trailer it seemed to me like a sad tv drama but the title got me curious that I didn't notice it was a psychological drama. It was after I'd finished watching the show I discovered that it was a romantic, psychological drama.

I say, this is the only psychological drama that has given me good experience in a long time. It surprised me and I was absolutely impressed with it at the end of the day.

”Normal People” is an Irish miniseries. It is a romantic psychological drama that was produced by BBC and Element Pictures together with Hulu. You see, this miniseries is an adaptation of a novel with the same title by Sally Rooney in 2018. The script of this drama was written by Sally Rooney together with Alice Birch and Mark O'Rowe. It was directed by Lenny Abrahamson and Hettie Macdonald. It starred Paul Mescal, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Desmond Eastwood, Aislín McGuckin, Niamh Lynch, Sarah Greene, Frank Blake, India Mullen, Eliot Salt, Éanna Hardwicke and Clinton Liberty.

This show is something you can finish within 2 days, if you don't have much activities to do as it only has 12 episodes. The story is set in a secondary school in the rural town of County Sligo in Ireland where a young popular athlete Connell meets Marianne who is an outcast in this school.

Soon Connell and Marianne became friends seamlessly without effort. Connell’s mum works as the housekeeper at Marianne's mansion. So Connell always comes to pick his mum after school hours. This routine led to development of their friendship regardless of the fact that Marianne is a loner, an outcast in school, living with her distant mother and her hateful brother.

Soon their relationship developed from friendship to an intense romantic relationship. Marianne opens up to Connell about her feelings for him. He accepts but becomes skeptical about going public with Marianne. So they both decided to keep it a secret. Their hidden relationships continue to blossom as they are both were drawn to one another but at the same time many things keep drawing them apart. However, Connell decided to ask a female of his to prom instead of Marianne. This shattered their created a massive problem. Will they be back together again? What keeps pulling them back to each other?

What I like about This Show.

The storytelling of this show was well done in a tender, compelling and an authentic way. I love the way I was carried along throughout the entire show without getting bored or tired. I was always eager to see the next episode because I bond easily with all the characters.
It captures Irish culture perfectly. It is a fantastic show that vividly depicts the lifestyle of teenagers in Ireland. It also portrays how boys over there struggle with how to express emotions and how it affects their life/relationship of any sort.
The characters were all authentic. In this aspect, I say, the cast brought all the characters of this show to life. Their performance was the main reason why I was hooked from the beginning to the end of this drama. Bravo to the cast. It was obvious they all put so much work into portraying their characters. When they are happy, I feel it, when they are sad, I feel, when they are depressed, I feel it. They were all convincing.
It explored powerful themes that are intertwined with lifestyle. Like, love isn't always straightforward, the gap between the rich and poor, peer pressure, and family dynamics.

My Review And Rating.

I say the directors of this show did an expectational job. I think it is an amazing adaptation of the book. The scene arrangements were excellent, the cinematography was fantastic and all the soundtracks used in the show give off the 80s vibes. The wardrobe of the cast was decent and befitting. I loved it.

All the steamy scenes were done with passion that it look so really. It is not 50 shades kind if steamy scene, but decent one that did cross any line. There were good melodramatic scenes that may seem frustrating to others but to me it was just a reality of life. The plot was well written, no fall flat characters, all the characters were engaging and compelling.

Overall, it was a beautiful, heartwrenching, and authentic show. Rating it, I will give it 7 out 10 stars. It was entertaining and I enjoyed watching. It is not a show where your expectations are high. It is show you watch and gently connect with the characters.

I recommend this show to lovers of Psychological dramas, romance and Fans of BBC shows.

The series is the warmest embrace when you need it the most, and at the same time, the coldest knife to the heart. It is a well-visualized narration of the conditions of modern relationships, human interaction in the post-digital era, and the perpetual emotional roller coaster called love.

The most important aspect is that it does not present a deliberately dysfunctional relationship for the sake of poetic license, nor does it compose a hymn to dysfunctionality. Relationships are not meant to be easy; love is not as simple as drinking water. Deep down, we carry the burden of the complexity of being. Just as the descendants of Ymir were defined by a specific fate, so too do humans bear the responsibility of the randomness that gives birth to them.

It aims to present the true nature of romantic relationships and succeeds completely. Love is not a struggle, nor something definitive, but an agreement made between two people. Relationships, in reality, are Sisyphus's rock. And if Camus's hypothesis was correct, then Sisyphus is indeed happy because of the endless effort. Emotion is not the destination, but the journey. It is not the peak of the hill, but the path to the top.

And this is exactly what Normal People presents. The relationship is judged by who ultimately made the effort, where the balance of emotion tips. If it remains steady, which is rare to impossible, then we are talking about a completely functional relationship. This is also revealed by the finale, functioning as a literary circular structure, perfectly expressed by the title of Bilbo's book: There and Back Again.

P.S. Much more can be said about the series, from mental health, the form of socialization at school, and the interaction of various school "cliques," to family bonds. Hoping not to do it an injustice or overlook them, I decided to focus on love and relationships, as they are the cornerstone of the series' narrative.

These days I was looking for a new series to watch and I saw it was available, Normal People, an Irish series directed by Lenny Abrahamson by Hettie Macdonald. The same is from 2020, the truth is that I do not know how I could not see him before, I always saw it on the internet that recommended it, but I never encouraged me, but luckily, you can see it and the day I bring you what is my personal opinion, which as always is according to lived experience and not a professional criticism.

En estos días estuvo buscando una nueva serie para ver y vi que estaba disponible, Normal People, una serie irlandesa dirigida por Lenny Abrahamson por Hettie Macdonald. La misma es de 2020, la verdad es que no sé cómo no le pude ver antes, siempre la veía por internet que la recomendaban, pero nunca me animé, pero por suerte, la puede ver y el día les traigo lo que es mi opinión personal, que como siempre es de acuerdo a la experiencia vivida y no una crítica profesional.

The series consists of 12 chapters, where each one has a duration of between 20 and 30 minutes. It is the first time I see a TV series where the chapters are short, so it is considered a miniseries, but the truth is that I loved it, because everything was going to the concrete that wanted to tell and not filled with many meaningless scenes. Many may think that in this time they did not give a good development to all the personalities, but the reality is always that every detail that as a viewer should know was told. I liked the series so much that I wanted to see more and I was left wanting a second season, the ending was open and could be realized, although in the end it was not, a real shame.

La serie consta de 12 capítulos, donde cada uno tiene una duración de entre 20 y 30 minutos. Es la primera vez que veo una serie de TV donde los capítulos son cortos, por lo cual es considera una miniserie, pero la verdad es que me encantó, ya que todo iba a lo concreto que se quería contar y no llena con muchas escenas sin sentido. Muchos pueden pensar que en este tiempo no se le daba un buen desarrollo a todos los personales, pero la realidad es siempre que se contó cada detalle que como espectador se debía conocer. La serie me gustó tanto que quería ver más y me quedé con ganas de una segunda temporada, el final fue abierto y se pudo realizar, aunque al final no fue así, una verdadera lástima.

This production is based on the novel written by Sally Rooney, titled with the same name as this miniseries. This story did not have a second part, since it was not continued, although the author commented on how the story continued after the end of this first installment. I must say that the ending was not as expected and the main reason is not that it was bad, on the contrary, it was something different from what we usually see in most romance stories. The drama is present in the miniseries, from beginning to end, and when we think that everything is going to a happy ending, something happens with the love story told by Normal People.

Esta producción está basada en la novela escrita por Sally Rooney, titulado con el mismo nombre de esta miniserie. Esta historia no tuvo una segunda parte, ya que está no continuo, aunque la autora comentó como seguía la historia, luego de la finalización de esta primera entrega. Debo decir que el final no fue el esperado y la razón principal no es que haya sido malo, al contrario, fue algo distinto de lo que solemos ver en las mayorías de las historias de romance. El drama está presente en la miniserie, de principio a fin, y es que cuando creemos que todo va para un final feliz, pues algo pasa con la historia de amor que cuenta Normal People.

Now, what is the plot of the series? It tells the story of the beginning of the romance between Marianne and Connell, two young people who are very different, but I share something in itself, which is the security that both have and this is demonstrated in every scene we see in the miniseries. The truth is that in this series we see many things that lovers of the genre may like, such as romance, drama and quite hot scenes that will blow the imagination of all the public, so it is not suitable for all audiences. Normal People has no waste, a series that is worth it from beginning to end, it has its details in the plot, but overall it is quite good, even has a great score in the main pages that review series and movies.

Ahora bien, ¿Cuál es la trama de la serie? Nos cuenta la historia del comienzo del romance entre Marianne y Connell, dos jóvenes que son muy distintos, pero comparto algo en sí, que es la seguridad que tiene ambos y esto queda demostrado en cada escena que vemos de la miniserie. La verdad es que en esta serie vemos muchas cosas que les pueden gustar a los amantes del género, como es el romance, el drama y escenas bastante calientes que hará volar la imaginación de todos el público, por lo cual no es apto para todo público. Normal People no tiene desperdicio, una serie que vale la pena de principio a fin, tiene sus detalles en la trama, pero en general está bastante, incluso tiene una gran puntuación en las principales páginas que hacen revisión de series y películas.

One of our main characters is Marianne, a girl who is from a family that has all the comforts, she is intelligent, but has a rather difficult personality, as she is very rebellious and all because of how she is treated by her family. She is a really good girl, but she has been through a lot, she is humiliated by her mother and mainly her older brother, which is why she acts in the aforementioned way. This character is portrayed by Daisy Edgar-Jones, a British actress, who does it really well, the character fits her and everything she wants to convey to the viewers, goes beyond the screen and the audience can grasp it very easily. I think the character could not be anyone else's, Daisy does it very well, at least it is a personal opinion.

Uno de nuestros personajes principales es Marianne, una chica que es de una familia que posee todas las comodidades, es inteligente, pero tiene una personalidad bastante difícil, ya que es muy rebelde y todo por como es tratada por su familia. Es una chica realmente buena, pero que ha pasado por mucho, es humillada por su madre y principalmente su hermano mayor, por lo cual actúa de la forma ya mencionada. Este personaje es representado por Daisy Edgar-Jones, una actriz británica, que lo hace realmente bien, el personaje le queda y es que todo lo que quiere transmitir a los espectadores, traspasa la pantalla y el público lo puede captar muy fácilmente. Creo que el personaje no podría ser de otra persona, Daisy lo hace muy bien, al menos es una opinión personal.

Then we have Connell Waldron, a boy who is quite intelligent, well liked by the whole school, he is even considered a popular young man, but the reality is that he is also quite insecure. The latter makes the plot take an unexpected turn, because despite being deeply in love with Marianne, he doesn't accept it so easily, he doubts a lot about his feelings, so he does things he may regret in the end. Paul Mescal, Irish actor, is the one who plays the role of Connell, he plays it very well, although I don't think he is at the same level of Daisy Edgar-Jones. What I can say is that you can see the onscreen chemistry of both of them, so the miniseries stands out a lot in the sex scenes we see throughout the 12 chapters.

Luego tenemos a Connell Waldron, un chico que es bastante inteligente, muy querido por toda la escuela, incluso es considerado un joven popular, pero la realidad es que también es bastante inseguro. Esto último hace que la trama tome un giro inesperado, porque a pesar de estar enamorado profundamente de Marianne, no lo acepta tan fácil, duda mucho de sus sentimientos, por lo cual hace cosas que al final pueda arrepentirse. Paul Mescal, actor irlandés, es quien hace el papel de Connell, la hace muy bien, aunque no me parece que al mismo nivel de Daisy Edgar-Jones. Lo que sí puedo decir es que se ve la química en pantalla de ambos, por lo cual la miniserie destaca mucho en las escenas de sexo que vemos a lo largo de los 12 capítulos.

The cast selection was just right, we get to see many more characters, who play an important role in the development of the story and what happens to our main characters in the end. On the other hand, we have what is excellent photography by Suzie Lavelle and Kate McCullough, with wonderful scenery where this love story takes place, which is the city of Sligo and then at Trinity College, located in Dublin. On the other hand, we have what is the soundtrack which is another aspect that we can highlight of the miniseries Normal People, really emotional music and full of many feelings, which will immerse us in the story of this production, full of beautiful moments, but also sad ones that at times can bring tears to our eyes.

La selección de cast fue el adecuado, podemos ver a muchos más personajes, que juegan un papel importante en el desarrollo de la historia y de lo que al final ocurre con nuestros personajes principales. Por otro lado, tenemos lo que es la fotografía a cargo de Suzie Lavelle y Kate McCullough excelente, con escenarios maravillosos donde se desarrolla esta historia de amor, que es la ciudad de Sligo y luego en la universidad de Trinidad, ubicada en la Dublin. Por otro lado, tenemos lo que es la banda sonora que es otro aspecto que podemos destacar de la miniserie Normal People, músicas realmente emotivas y llenas de muchos sentimientos, que nos sumergirán en la historia de esta producción, llena de bonitos momentos, pero también de tristes que por momentos nos pueden sacar las lágrimas.

Opinión final

Normal People is a miniseries worth watching. It has a very touching story, yes it is a romance, but the drama is the most that is present, it is a production that is quite similar to After, although it has a better told story than that movie, what I find most similar is the toxic relationship of the characters, but we know that this can happen in a love story. The ending is another of the points in favor of the miniseries, since it teaches us that people are not always destined to be together, no matter how much they love or care for each other. I did not expect the ending, but it is a positive point of the series, since we can be surprised.

Opinión final

Normal People es una miniserie que vale la pena verla. Tiene una historia bastante conmovedora, si es de romance, pero el drama es lo más que está presente, es una producción que se me hace bastante parecida a After, aunque está tiene una historia mejor contada que esa película, lo que más se me parece es la relación tóxica de los personajes, pero sabemos que esto puede ocurrir en una historia de amor. El final es otro de los puntos a favor de la miniserie, ya que la misma nos enseña que no siempre las personas están destinadas a estar juntos, por más que se quieran o amen. El final no me lo esperaba, pero es un punto positivo de la serie, puesto que al nos podemos llegar a sorprender.

The miniseries does not have a second season, I feel that this story could have been used for a second season, but never came out a second free of this story, although the author told what became of Marianne and Connell after what we saw in the series. A plot, cinematography, cast, direction and soundtrack that makes this the best series I have seen of the love and romance genre. If I had to give it a score, it would be 9.5, it has its details but in general everything is very well done and adapted to the novel Normal People.

La miniserie no tiene una segunda temporada, siento que se pudo aprovechar esta historia para una segunda temporada, pero nunca salió un segundo libre de esta historia, aunque si la autora contó que fue de Marianne y Connell luego de lo que vimos en la serie. Una trama, una fotografía, un elenco, una dirección y una banda sonora que hace que esta sea la mejor serie que he visto del género de amor y romance. Si tendría que colocarle una puntuación, sería 9.5, tiene sus detalles pero en general todo muy hecho y adaptado a la novela Normal People.

›[ESP-ENG] Series Review: Normal People 🌼❤️@naath1122d

_{fuente source}

Hola amigos de la comunidad de Movies & Tv el día de hoy quiero compartir mi reseña de una serie bastante popular la cual fue adaptada de un libro llamado al igual que la serie Normal People. Siempre me llamo la atención todos los videos que salían en mi TikTok acerca de esta serie y la relación de los protagonistas, por lo que no pude contenerme más y decidí buscarla. Esta serie es de Hulu pero la pueden encontrar también en otras plataformas de streaming. Ahora sí, hablemos de la serie.

Hello friends of the Movies & Tv community, today I want to share my review of a very popular series which was adapted from a book called Normal People. I was always interested in all the videos that were on my TikTok about this series and the relationship of the main characters, so I couldn't hold back anymore and decided to look it up. This series is from Hulu but you can also find it on other streaming platforms. Now let's talk about the series.

_{fuente source}

Connel y Marianne son dos jóvenes que se conocieron en la escuela secundaria. Ambos tienen vidas muy distintas, Connel es un joven como cualquier otro de estrato social bajo, hijo único, que se destaca por sacar sobresalientes en clase y jugar muy bien fútbol en el equipo de la escuela. Marianne es una chica bastante inteligente pero algo marginada por sus compañeros, todos tienen una opinión diferente de ella solo porque ella viene de una familia con mucho dinero.

Connel and Marianne are two young people who met in high school. Both have very different lives, Connel is a young man like any other from a low social stratum, only son, who stands out for getting straight A's in class and playing soccer very well in the school team. Marianne is a pretty smart girl but somewhat marginalized by her classmates, everyone has a different opinion of her just because she comes from a family with a lot of money.

_{fuente sourcefuente sourcefuente source}

Ahora como dos jóvenes que son tan diferentes pueden llegar a conectar. Eso es lo que vamos viendo a través de la historia, para ser más específica Connel tiene contacto con Marianne debido a que la mamá de él es la que se encarga de la limpieza de la casa lujosa de la familia de Marianne. Al principio todo comienza con pequeñas conversaciones ya que Connel es algo tímido y tiene todas estas dudas acerca de quien es realmente Marianne.

Now how two young people who are so different can connect. That's what we see throughout the story, to be more specific Connel has contact with Marianne because his mom is the one in charge of cleaning Marianne's luxurious family home. At first it all starts with small conversations since Connel is somewhat shy and has all these doubts about who Marianne really is.

_{fuente source}

Poco a poco van dándose los encuentros entre ambos y siendo adolescentes buscan experimentar sobre todo en su sexualidad, así que ambos mantienen una relación no de novios pero si de amigos con derecho. Cabe destacar que Connel es bastante inmaduro y creo que en parte le gusta esto de que puede estar con la chica a la que todos desprecian y que nadie conoce en realidad, pero con el pasar de los capítulos vamos sintiendo pena por Connel y a la vez por Marianne también.

Little by little the encounters between the two are taking place and being teenagers seek to experiment especially in their sexuality, so both maintain a relationship not as boyfriend and girlfriend but as friends with rights. It should be noted that Connel is quite immature and I think he partly likes the fact that he can be with the girl that everyone despises and that nobody really knows, but as the chapters go by we feel sorry for Connel and at the same time for Marianne too.

_{fuente source}

Después de pasar un tiempo juntos en secreto llega el momento de definir que van hacer después de la escuela, lo que sería la universidad y la carrera que quieren escoger. Connel guiado por Marianne escoge la de Literatura ya que es muy bueno escribiendo según ella. El momento que todos estábamos esperando era que Connel llevará a Marianne como su pareja al baile de graduación pero no lo hace y va con una de las chicas más populares lo que hace sentir a Marianne muy miserable y decide no ir al baile ni tener más contacto con sus compañeros.

After spending some time together in secret, the time comes to define what they are going to do after school, what would be the university and the career they want to choose. Connel, guided by Marianne, chooses Literature as he is very good at writing according to her. The moment we were all waiting for was for Connel to take Marianne as his date to the prom but he doesn't and goes with one of the more popular girls which makes Marianne feel very miserable and she decides not to go to the prom or have any more contact with her classmates.

_{fuente source}

Connel se siente muy abrumado al llegar a la universidad, todo es nuevo para el, una nueva ciudad, un nuevo lugar donde vivir y una carrera que no está realmente seguro de si es la correcta. Aún así van pasando los días y algunas veces Connel recuerda cuando estaba en la secundaria y lo diferente que era todo en esos tiempos. Un día el amigo que comparte casa con Connel lo invita a una fiesta para que conozca a más personas y allí estaba Marianne.

Connel feels very overwhelmed when he arrives at college, everything is new to him, a new city, a new place to live and a career that he's not really sure if it's the right one. Still the days go by and sometimes Connel remembers when he was in high school and how different everything was back then. One day the friend who shares a house with Connel invites him to a party to meet more people and there was Marianne.

Marianne queda sorprendida al ver a Connel y Connel también porque ella está muy cambiada, ahora es más extrovertida, tiene más amigos y también tiene novio. Marianne intercambia palabras con Connel y el se ríe diciendo que su novio es algo fastidioso a lo que ella responde que solo es muy apasionado de su carrera.

Marianne is surprised to see Connel and Connel too because she is very changed, now she is more outgoing, has more friends and also has a boyfriend. Marianne exchanges words with Connel and he laughs saying that her boyfriend is kind of annoying to which she replies that he is just very passionate about his career.

_{fuente source}

Bueno está historia se va desarrollando y nos muestra la vida de Connel y Marianne y su mala comunicación, porque están todo el tiempo buscándose y a la vez se alejan de sus propios sentimientos. Realmente me gustó ver a Paul Mescal como Connel, creo que hizo un gran papel como actor y además demostró muy bien el tema de la salud mental de Connel la cual se ve afectada en un punto de la serie por un acontecimiento. Daisy Edgar-Jones como Marianne es simplemente fenomenal, dar vida a una joven que se va descubriendo en medio de una familia muy rica pero con poco amor y unión, ir cometiendo errores y cambiando su forma de ser por la presión de relaciones de pareja, te da una idea realista de lo que puede vivir una mujer en su proceso de descubrimiento.

Well this story is developing and shows us the life of Connel and Marianne and their bad communication, because they are all the time looking for each other and at the same time they are away from their own feelings. I really enjoyed seeing Paul Mescal as Connel, I think he did a great role as an actor and also showed very well the theme of Connel's mental health which is affected at one point in the series by an event. Daisy Edgar-Jones as Marianne is simply phenomenal, giving life to a young woman who is discovering herself in the middle of a very rich family but with little love and union, making mistakes and changing her way of being because of the pressure of relationships, gives you a realistic idea of what a woman can live in her process of discovery.

_{fuente source}

Esta serie toca de manera sencilla temas como la sexualidad en la adolescencia y en la adultez, la madurez para tomar decisiones en la vida, la manera en la que nuestra relación familiar puede afectarnos como personas, la perdida de un ser querido por suicidio y como esto puede afectar a las personas que estuvieron en su vida, los miedos a afrontar las situaciones de la vida, el amor en la adolescencia y la manera en la que crece a pesar de haber pasado los años, los cambios en la vida que pueden significar algo bueno como también algo malo, la percepción que tenemos de nosotros mismos en este caso Connel y Marianne, el miedo al fracaso y finalmente el dejar ir algo con lo cual nos sentíamos bien.

This series touches in a simple way on topics such as sexuality in adolescence and adulthood, the maturity to make decisions in life, the way in which our family relationship can affect us as people, the loss of a loved one by suicide and how this can affect the people who were in your life, the fears to face life situations, love in adolescence and the way it grows despite the passing of the years, the changes in life that can mean something good as well as something bad, the perception we have of ourselves in this case Connel and the way we perceive ourselves, in this case Connel and his family, love in adolescence and the way it grows over the years, the changes in life that can mean something good as well as something bad, the perception we have of ourselves in this case Connel and Marianne, the fear of failure and finally letting go of something we felt good about.

Realmente fue una serie muy buena y bonita, el romance de Connel y Marianne jamás lo podré olvidar jaja, las escenas son maravillosas, la manera en la que se hablan sin si quiera pronunciar una palabra, las miradas, cada reencuentro donde surgía de nueva esa llama de amor. Ojalá y esta serie tuviera más temporadas pero tristemente no es así. Solo es una temporada de 12 episodios de 30 minutos de duración cada uno. Fue algo que realmente me llegó al corazón y no creo poder olvidar algo así de lindo. Necesito ver más actuaciones de Paul Mescal y Daisy Edgar-Jones juntos o separados ambos son grandes actores.

It really was a very good and beautiful series, the romance of Connel and Marianne I will never forget haha, the scenes are wonderful, the way they talk to each other without even uttering a word, the looks, each reunion where the flame of love arose again. I wish and this series had more seasons but sadly it does not. It is only one season of 12 episodes of 30 minutes each. It was something that really touched my heart and I don't think I can ever forget something this cute. I need to see more performances from Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones together or apart they are both great actors.

Acerca del libro, hace un tiempo lo empecé a leer pero me gano la curiosidad y me puse a ver la serie y no lo termine de leer, pero lo que leí estuvo bastante acorde a lo que ví en la serie y eso es algo que me gustó mucho que no cambiaran cosas que están en el libro así que fue una buena adaptación, la escritora del libro se llama Sally Rooney famosa por su libro Normal People pero también tiene otro que se llama Conversations with friends el cual también tiene una adaptación a película y estoy interesada en verla.

About the book, some time ago I started to read it but I got curious and I started to watch the series and I didn't finish reading it, but what I read was pretty much in line with what I saw in the series and that's something I really liked that they didn't change things that are in the book so it was a good adaptation, the writer of the book is Sally Rooney famous for her book Normal People but she also has another one called Conversations with friends which also has a movie adaptation and I am interested in seeing it.

Espero puedan disfrutar de esta serie tanto como yo lo hice, quisiera saber que les pareció esta serie si ya la vieron, que fue lo que más les gustó, para mí fue la manera en la que Sally Rooney demostró el romance en el libro y en la película. Gracias por llegar hasta aquí y apoyarme siempre 🧡

I hope you can enjoy this series as much as I did, I would like to know what you thought of this series if you already watched it, what did you like the most, for me it was the way Sally Rooney showed the romance in the book and in the movie. Thanks for making it this far and always supporting me 🧡

›Normal People | Romance is dead and done@jauregui981217d
If I have anything to thank my intense depression for, it's that it's increasingly developing my habit of self-sabotage, and while it's not quite self-sabotage, it's the closest word I have in my vocabulary to describe what I do. I had too long wanted to watch Normal People, and I finally did, I would have watched it over a single day, but since my depression only makes me sleep, though I don't get any significant breaks, I had to watch it over two days and thus appreciate one of the best dramatic miniseries ever made, though I cried less than I expected to, the emptiness in me grew more and more, making my depression more and more horrible, with the only visual break being how beautiful the photography of the series is. Overall the series is excellent, but it's not for everyone, it can be slower than you expect, quieter than you expect, more despairing than you think, and that frustrates, making it possible to stop watching in a huff.

Normal People follows Connell, played by the wonderful Paul Mescal, and Marianne, played by the incredible Daisy Edgar-Jones. Both of them I met for the first time in this series and I can't be more grateful for it in this lifetime. They are both in their senior year of high school about to graduate, Connell is a great super smart athlete with an active social life and Marianne is a know-it-all who is disliked by her classmates and is the victim of incessant bullying from them, Connell's mother works at Marianne's house, so from those little visits when Connell goes to pick up his mom, years later they meet again at the university and what was already complicated becomes worse, reaching a level of complexity that although we might believe that few relationships come to have, it is something more common than we think, because it happens to normal people every day in the world.

Si algo tengo que agradecerle a mi intensa depresión es que desarrolla cada vez más mi hábito de autsaboteo, y aunque no es autosaboteo del todo, es la palabra más parecida que tengo en mi vocabulario para describir lo que hago. Tenía demasiado tiempo queriendo ver Normal People, y al fin lo hice, la hubiera visto durante un solo día, pero como mi depresión solo me hace dormir, aunque no recibo ningún descanso significativo, tuve que verla en dos días y así poder apreciar uno de las mejores miniseries drámaticas que se han hecho, aunque lloré menos de lo que esperaba, el vacío en mí crecía cada vez más, haciendo mi depresión cada vez más horrible, con el único descanso visual de lo hermosa que es la fotografía de la serie. En general la serie es excelente, pero no es para todo el mundo, puede ser más lenta de lo que se espera, más silenciosa de lo que se espera, más desesperante de lo que se cree, y eso frustra, haciendo que se pueda dejar de verla en un arrebato.

Normal People sigue a Connell, interpretado por el maravilloso de Paul Mescal, y a Marianne, interpretada por la increíble Daisy Edgar-Jones. A ambos los conocí por primera vez en esta serie y no puedo agradecerlo más en esta vida. Ambos están en su último año de bachillerato a punto de graduarse, Connell es un gran atleta super inteligente con una vida social activa y Marianne es una sabelotodo que no les agrada a sus compañeros y es víctima del bullying incesante de parte de ellos, la madre de Connell trabaja en la casa de Marianne, así que a partir de esas pequeñas visitas cuando Connell va a buscar a su madre, él y Marianne comienzan a tener una relación a escondidas que se complica cada vez más, años después se vuelven a encontrar en la universidad y lo que ya era complicado se vuelve peor, llegando a un nivel de complejidad que si bien podríamos llegar a creer que pocas relaciones llegan a tener, es algo más común de lo que creemos, pues les pasa a personas normales todos los días del mundo.

I'm barely two paragraphs in and my fingers are already hurting, fucking depression for not letting me write for so long, plus I didn't fully enjoy all the movies and series I watched. As almost always, I haven't read the book on which this miniseries was based, but as it surely is, I imagine it's much better and more intense than the miniseries is, because this miniseries is so well written, so well acted, so real that it hurts, and it hurts so much that it can make you emotionally numb, at least I already had my feelings numb before watching it, only that everything got worse after watching it, gradually, almost without realizing it. So don't watch the series if you're in a really bad place, don't do what I did, don't self-sabotage, please.

One of my favorite things about this miniseries is that it shows so many facets of relationships that it can become unbelievable. More than once we will come into conflict with Connell and Marianne, many times we will believe that it is better for them to be apart than together, and it will be that way several times, but out of nowhere they get back together and show us once again that the relationship they have is one of the best things for the two of them, at least in those moments of their lives, and that if they were not together everything could be worse for them individually, and no, we don't want that to be so, so we are glad once again that they are together, although there is the possibility that they will separate again when we least expect it.

Apenas llevo estos dos párrafos y ya me están doliendo los dedos, puta depresión por no dejarme escribir por tanto tiempo, además de que no disfrute en plenitud todas las películas y series que vi. Como casi siempre, no he leído el libro en el cual se basó esta miniserie, pero como seguramente lo es, imagino que es mucho mejor y más intenso de lo que la miniserie es, porque esta miniserie está tan bien escrite, tan bien actuada, es tan real que duele, y duele tanto que puede llegar a entumecerte emocionalmente, al menos yo ya tenía mis sentimientos entumecidos antes de verla, solo que todo empeoró después de verla, gradualmente, casi sin darme cuenta. Así que no vean la serie si están en un muy mal mal momento, no hagan lo mismo que yo, no se autosaboteen, por favor.

Una de mis cosas favoritas de esta miniserie es que muestra tantas facetas de las relaciones que puede llegar a ser increíble. Más de una vez vamos a entrar en conflicto con Connell y Marianne, muchas veces vamos a creer que es mejor para ellos estar separados que juntos, y será así varias veces, pero de la nada se vuelven a juntar y nos demuestran una vez más que la relación que tienen es de las mejores cosas para ellos dos, al menos en esos momentos de sus vidas, y que si no estuvieran juntos todo podría ser peor para ellos individualmente, y no, no queremos que eso sea así, así que nos alegramos una vez más de que estén juntos, aunque existe la posibilidad de que se vuelvan a separar cuando menos nos lo esperemos.

The scene that made me fall in love with the series even before watching it was one where Connell says he is very tired and wants to sleep, but he doesn't want to be alone, or something like that was, then Marianne, who is talking to him through Skype I think, tells him to go to sleep and leave the laptop in front of him, that she will be with him during all that time, and so it was, when Connell woke up there was Marianne I think reading or writing, and just smiled at him when she noticed that he had woken up. That scene made me want to watch the miniseries with too much desire and it was the only scene that came to my mind although later I saw other scenes, and that's the way I like to watch the series, thinking about a scene that perfectly shows the essence of the miniseries, because it is palpable the affection they have for each other no matter what and let's say that is the beautiful message that the series gives and with which I stay.

Romantic comedies should learn from dramas and stop existing, because they are the most useless things that exist, but since I'm not here to talk bad about romantic comedies, I'll keep talking good about Normal People. One thing that should be clear when watching the series is that it's about normal people, redundant considering the title, but it's like that, they are complex people who have the qualities to do good things and bad things, who can learn from their mistakes, who try to live without hurting others, but that's almost impossible, so one way or another we hurt people and the only thing left to do is to learn from what happened, apologize, and go on with our lives in the best way possible.

La escena que me hizo enamorarme de la serie incluso antes de verla fue una donde Connell dice que está muy cansado y que quiere dormir, pero no quiere estar solo, o algo así era, entonces Marianne, quien está hablando con él a través de Skype, creo, le dice que se vaya a dormir y deje la laptop frente a él, que ella estará con él durante todo ese tiempo, y así fue, cuando Connell despertó ahí estaba Marianne creo que leyendo o escribiendo, y tan solo le sonrió cuando notó que él se había despertado. Esa escena me hizo querer ver la miniserie con demasiadas ganas y era la única escena que se me venía a la mente aunque después vi otras escenas, y esa es la forma en que me gusta ver la serie, pensando en una escena que desmuestra a la perfección la escencia de la miniserie, pues es palpable el cariño que se tienen sin importar qué y digamos que es el mensaje bonito que da la serie y con el que me quedo.

Las comedias románticas deberían aprender de los dramas y dejar de existir, porque son de las cosas más inútiles que existen, pero como no estoy aquí para hablar mal de las comedias románticas, seguiré hablñando bien de Normal People. Una cosa que se debería tener en claro al ver la serie es que trata sobre personas normales, valga la redundancia teniendo en cuenta el título, pero es así, son personas complejas que tienen las cualidades para hacer cosas buenas y cosas malas, que pueden aprender de sus errores, que tratan de vivir sin hacerle daño a los demás, pero eso es casi imposible, así que de una forma u otra le hacemos daño a la gente y lo único que nos queda hacer es aprender de lo sucedido, disculparnos, y seguir con nuestras vidas de la mejor forma posible.

![MV5BM2ZhNzllNWQtN2RmNS00M2RiLThmZGYtNDA3MmRiM2E4ODdjXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjgzMzA0NzE@._V1_.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jauregui98/23swdzUgbgwLWcpkXvsy1y9KzbuzjqepYvnh37oW1HNwg8xmPwNJyfVHEtdRQgFohANW7.jpg) ![MV5BZGMyYjc3YjktNDJlMy00YzVkLTgyM2EtNDE0YTNiYjA2ODU3XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDk2MzgxMzg@._V1_.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/jauregui98/23wzxkhQajuLniHFbJt7Pirne8fXQ9o7EQHaWkS3w1CrkDus5VqgQ9kPk9qxp4h7bKpVJ.jpg)

The only thing I didn't like about Normal People is that it ended, even though it has 12 chapters, which is already relatively long for miniseries, it was short, very short, and I wanted more of that relationship at times strange, at times beautiful, at times toxic. I think I should read the book. Something random about watching Normal People is that it is the first production in general that I have seen without Spanish subtitles, I watched it entirely in English and it felt good, yes there were times when I had to look up the meaning of several words, but it was very little, I think five times only, and that makes me very happy.

Normal People is very silent, you have to read more the scenes and the meaning of the actions and what we see, rather than understand what they say. I loved it too much, I want to watch it again, I think I will to cry everything I haven't cried in several weeks. Give it a chance, maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't, but it's worth a try.

Lo único que no me gustó de Normal People es que terminó, aunque tiene 12 capítulos, que ya es relativamente largo para las miniseries, se me hizo corta, muy corta, y quería más de esa relación a tiempos extraña, a tiempos hermosa, a tiempos tóxica. Creo que debería leer el libro. Algo random de ver Normal People es que es la primera producción en general que veo sin subtítulos en español, la vi por completo en inglés y se sintió bien, sí hubo ocaciones en las que tuve que buscar el significado de varias palabras, pero fue muy poco, creo que cinco veces nada más, y eso me alegra mucho.

Normal People es muy silenciosa, hay que leer más las escenas y el significado de las acciones y de lo que vemos, más allá que entender lo que dicen. La amé demasiado, quiero volver a verla, creo que lo haré para llorar todo lo que no he llorado en varías semanas. Denle una oportunidad, quizás les guste, quizás no, pero vale la pena intentarlo.

›Anteprima - Normal People@serialfiller1478d
https://www.serialfiller.org/post/
Questo è il link futuro del post che vi sto invitando a leggere nei prossimi giorni su www.serialfiller.org e che qui è in anteprima

Come di consueto oggi vi porto dentro una nuova Anteprima di un articolo che fra qualche giorno o settimana vedrete Nella Mente di un SerialFiller, il mio blog interamente incentrato sul mondo delle serie tv e di cui, da qualche mese, ho deciso di regalarvi costantemente, in anticipo su quello che pubblicherò, gran parte dei post che vedrete su www.serialfiller.org.

Un tuffo nel 2020 è quello che voglio concedermi oggi nella recensione breve che andrete a leggere. Si tratta di Normal People ed è una di quelle serie rischiosissime da consigliare. Sarebbe molto probabile, infatti, che il "consigliato" possa sentirsi sopraffatto dalle emozioni tanto quanto dalla noia. Normal People non conosce mezze misure. O la ami, o la odi. Probabile che, se siete lettori di Nella Mente di Un SerialFiller e non di altri blog dal facile click e dalla piacioneria smodata, allora forse c'è speranza che Normal People possa piacervi e ancora, ancora di più regalarvi quell'intensità emotiva sempre difficile da trovare. L'emittente che ha scommesso su questo piccolo gioiello è Hulu, che nel 2020 ha vissuto, probabilmente, il suo anno di grazia. Adattamento dell'omonimo romanzo, Normal People è una serie indefinibile. Romanzo di formazione ma anche intimo approfondimento della psiche e dell'anima di 2 adolescenti. Storia di sesso ma anche di amore, storia di tradimento e di egoismo, storia di individualismo ma anche di "comunione". E' una storia difficilissima da metabolizzare ed incasellare. Questo, a volte, può essere un boomerang, altre, come in questo caso, un ascensore verso il successo e la grazia seriale divina. La serie registra anche il semidebutto di 2 attori che sono destinati ad occupare un posto dignitoso nel futuro della tv e del cinema. Si tratta di Paul Mescal e Sally Rooney, assolutamente perfetti nei panni di Connel e Marianne. Timido e bistrattato il primo, "stronza" e algida la seconda. I 2 si troveranno in maniera inattesa e stupefacente. Nascerà un amore. Nascerà una storia. Bella, lunga, dura e zeppa di ostacoli e decisioni soffertissime. Al netto di tutto quello che fra loro nascerà sarà un legame profondissimo ed irrinunciabile che li terrà l'uno accanto all'altra sempre, anche quando distanze e scelte discutibili li porranno sideralmente lontani dalla persona amata. Normal People è stata una delle prime serie che questo blog ha recensito. La recensione, quella originale, la trovate qui. Vi consiglio, ovviamente di leggerla, per approfondire lo show Hulu.

A dip into 2020 is what I want to indulge in today in the short review you are going to read. It is Normal People and it is one of those very risky series to recommend. It would be very likely, in fact, that the "recommended" person might feel overwhelmed by emotion as much as by boredom. Normal People knows no half measures. You either love it, or you hate it. Odds are, if you are a reader of In the Mind of a SerialFiller and not of other blogs of easy clicks and inordinate likeability, then perhaps there is hope that Normal People might appeal to you and still, even more give you that emotional intensity that is always hard to find. The broadcaster betting on this little gem is Hulu, which in 2020 experienced, arguably, its year of grace. Adapted from the novel of the same name, Normal People is an indefinable series. Coming-of-age novel but also intimate insight into the psyche and soul of 2 teenagers. Story of sex but also of love, story of betrayal and selfishness, story of individualism but also of "togetherness." It is a very difficult story to metabolize and frame. This, at times, can be a boomerang, at others, as in this case, an elevator to success and divine serial grace. The series also records the semi-debut of 2 actors who are destined to occupy a dignified place in the future of TV and film. They are Paul Mescal and Sally Rooney, absolutely perfect as Connel and Marianne. Shy and bullied the former, "bitchy" and algid the latter. The 2 will find each other in an unexpected and amazing way. A love will be born. A story will be born. Beautiful, long, hard and chock-full of obstacles and painful decisions. Net of all that will be born between them will be a very deep and unbreakable bond that will keep them by each other's side always, even when distances and questionable choices will place them sidereally far from their loved one. Normal People was one of the first series this blog reviewed. The review, the original one, can be found here. I recommend, of course, that you read it to learn more about the Hulu show.

›Normal People - La mia recensione - Part 3@serialfiller1799d
Ma Normal People è anche uno show sui generis, che apre una finestra molto carnale sullo spaccato di vita dei protagonisti.

Le nudità e le scene di sesso, anche molto spinte, abbondano.

Nonostante ciò, fatichiamo ad interpretarle con un'accezione negativa, a derubricarle come scene gratuite.

Non lo sono.

Sono, anzi, funzionali a tratteggiare la sempre più profonda conoscenza del sè.

Attraverso i loro corpi, Connell e, soprattutto, Marianne, si offrono al mondo e dal mondo ricevono segnali e lezioni che permetteranno loro di diventare quello che diventeranno.

Se per Connell, il sesso sarà soprattutto un modo per esplorare il piacere, per connettersi al proprio partner, lo stesso non sarà per Marianne. Molto più fragile e molto più dipendente da Connell di quello che lei stessa potrebbe immaginare, finirà per diventare una versione più intima, disperata, malinconica della protagonista di 50 sfumature di grigio.

Sarà un modo, come un altro, per toccare il fondo e da lì rielaborare gli anni della sua vita più formativi e densi di incontri, eventi, successi personali.

Normal People riconfingura il significato di Amore, dramma, sia esso adolescenziale o universale, sfuggendo da ogni categorizzazione e restituendoci una serie che in 10 brevissimi episodi ha saputo costruire un fenomeno televisivo apprezzato in tutto il mondo.

ll tono delicato che sottende l'intera serie, il soave cercarsi e sfuggirsi dei protagonisti, il tenue ritratto che ognuno di loro dipinge di se stesso, fa della serie un evento imperdibile.

Per la sua capacità di raccontare quello che c'è dentro ognuno di noi, sfuggendo a parole e azioni, ricorda il sempre troppo dimenticato "Rectify", serie di qualche anno fa che con molti silenzi e poche parole riusciva a tratteggiare con vigorosa forza le ansie, i timori, le volontà del suo ferito e sfortunato protagonista.

Anche Normal People fa sua questa caratteristica, riuscendo a far parlare le interazioni di Connell e Marianne più di quanto le stesse parole potrebbero trasmettere.

Un bacio mancato, una mano che sfiora l'altra, un pensiero lontano, una carezza che tocca una lacrima.

Normal People lavora per sottrazione continuamente, lasciando ai suoi splendidi interpreti il peso del messaggio, del racconto sfuggente e interiore di entrambi.

Il risultato è eccellente, il risultato è una serie che lentamente scivola via, senza apparenti sussulti, se non quello che desta dentro ognuno di noi silenziosamente a visione abbondatemente finita, segno evidente di essere riuscita a penetrare ampiamente nel profondo di ognuno di noi. https://www.serialfiller.org/post/normal-people-un-titolo-che-inganna-per-una-serie-che-sorprende Trama: 6 Sviluppo Personaggi: 9,5 Complessità: 8 Originalità: 7 Profondità: 10 Cast: 8 Impatto sulla serialità contemporanea: 7 Componente Drama: 9 Componente Comedy:2 Comparto tecnico: 6 Regia: 7 Intrattenimento: 6 Coinvolgimento emotivo: 10 Soundtrack: 6

Aber Normal People ist auch eine Show sui generis, die ein sehr fleischliches Fenster zum Lebensquerschnitt der Protagonisten öffnet.

Nacktheit und Sexszenen, einige von ihnen sehr rassig, sind reichlich vorhanden.

Trotzdem fällt es uns schwer, sie negativ zu interpretieren, sie als überflüssige Szenen abzutun.

Sie sind es nicht.

Im Gegenteil, sie sind funktional, indem sie das immer tiefer gehende Wissen über das Selbst umreißen.

Durch ihre Körper bieten sich Connell und vor allem Marianne der Welt an, und von der Welt erhalten sie Signale und Lektionen, die sie zu dem werden lassen, was sie werden wollen.

Wenn für Connell Sex vor allem ein Weg ist, die Lust zu erforschen, sich mit seinem Partner zu verbinden, so gilt das für Marianne nicht. Viel zerbrechlicher und viel abhängiger von Connell, als sie sich vorstellen kann, wird sie am Ende zu einer intimeren, verzweifelten, melancholischen Version der Protagonistin von 50 Shades of Grey.

Es wird eine Möglichkeit sein, wie jede andere auch, den Tiefpunkt zu erreichen und von dort aus die prägendsten Jahre ihres Lebens, voller Begegnungen, Ereignisse und persönlicher Erfolge, noch einmal zu erleben.

Normal People rekonfiguriert die Bedeutung von Liebe, Drama, ob jugendlich oder universell, entzieht sich jeglicher Kategorisierung und beschert uns eine Serie, die es in 10 sehr kurzen Episoden geschafft hat, ein weltweit geschätztes Fernsehphänomen aufzubauen.

Der zarte Ton, der der gesamten Serie zugrunde liegt, die behutsame Suche und Flucht der Protagonisten, das zarte Porträt, das jeder von ihnen von sich selbst malt, macht die Serie zu einem unübersehbaren Ereignis.

Ihre Fähigkeit, ohne Worte und Taten zu erzählen, was in jedem von uns steckt, erinnert an das allzu vergessene "Rectify", eine Serie von vor einigen Jahren, der es gelang, mit viel Schweigen und wenigen Worten die Ängste, Befürchtungen und den Willen ihres verletzten und unglücklichen Protagonisten mit Nachdruck zu schildern.

Auch Normal People macht sich diese Eigenschaft zu eigen und schafft es, Connells und Mariannes Interaktionen mehr sprechen zu lassen, als die Worte selbst vermitteln könnten.

Ein verpasster Kuss, eine Hand, die einen anderen berührt, ein entfernter Gedanke, eine Liebkosung, die eine Träne rührt.

Normal People arbeitet durchgehend mit Subtraktion und überlässt seinen großartigen Darstellern die Last der Botschaft, der schwer fassbaren und inneren Geschichte der beiden.

Das Ergebnis ist exzellent, eine Serie, die langsam entgleitet, ohne offensichtliche Stöße, außer dem, den sie in jedem von uns im Stillen am Ende der Betrachtung hervorruft, ein klares Zeichen, dass es ihr gelungen ist, tief in jeden von uns einzudringen. https://www.serialfiller.org/post/normal-people-un-titolo-che-inganna-per-una-serie-che-sorprende Parzelle: 6 Charakterentwicklung: 9,5 Komplexität: 8 Originalität: 7 Tiefe: 10 Besetzung: 8 Einfluss auf die zeitgenössische Serialität: 7 Drama-Komponente: 9 Comedy-Anteil: 2 Technischer Aspekt: 6 Richtung: 7 Unterhaltung: 6 Emotionale Beteiligung: 10 Tonspur: 6

ENG

But Normal People is also a sui generis show, which opens a very carnal window on the cross-section of the protagonists' lives.

The nudity and sex scenes, even very hard, abound.

Despite this, we find it hard to interpret them in a negative light, to dismiss them as gratuitous scenes.

They are not.

On the contrary, they are functional to outline the increasingly deep knowledge of the self.

Through their bodies, Connell and, above all, Marianne, offer themselves to the world and from the world they receive signals and lessons that will allow them to become what they will become.

If for Connell, sex will be above all a way to explore pleasure, to connect with his partner, the same will not be true for Marianne. Much more fragile and much more dependent on Connell than she might imagine, she will end up becoming a more intimate, desperate, melancholic version of the protagonist of 50 Shades of Grey.

It will be a way, as much as any other, to hit rock bottom and from there reframe the most formative years of her life, dense with encounters, events, and personal successes.

Normal People reconfigures the meaning of Love, drama, whether adolescent or universal, escaping from any categorization and giving us a series that in 10 short episodes has been able to build a television phenomenon appreciated worldwide.

The delicate tone that underlies the entire series, the gentle search and escape of the protagonists, the tenuous portrait that each of them paints of himself, makes the series an event not to be missed.

For its ability to tell what is inside each of us, escaping words and actions, it reminds us of the always too much forgotten "Rectify", a series of a few years ago that with many silences and few words managed to draw with vigorous strength the anxieties, fears, the will of its wounded and unfortunate protagonist.

Normal People also makes this characteristic its own, managing to make Connell and Marianne's interactions speak more than the words themselves could convey.

A missed kiss, a hand that brushes against another, a distant thought, a caress that touches a tear.

Normal People works by subtraction continuously, leaving to its splendid interpreters the weight of the message, of the elusive and inner story of both.

The result is excellent, the result is a series that slowly slips away, without apparent jolts, if not that which awakens within each of us silently at the end of the vision, a clear sign of having managed to penetrate widely into the depths of each of us. https://www.serialfiller.org/post/normal-people-un-titolo-che-inganna-per-una-serie-che-sorprende Plot: 6 Character Development: 9,5 Complexity: 8 Originality: 7 Depth: 10 Cast: 8 Impact on contemporary seriality: 7 Drama Component: 9 Comedy Component: 2 Technical aspect: 6 Direction: 7 Entertainment: 6 Emotional involvement: 10 Soundtrack: 6

Mais Normal People est aussi un spectacle sui generis, ouvrant une fenêtre très charnelle sur la vie transversale des protagonistes.

Les scènes de nudité et de sexe, dont certaines sont très osées, abondent.

Malgré cela, nous avons du mal à les interpréter de manière négative, à les rejeter comme des scènes gratuites.

Ils ne le sont pas.

Au contraire, ils sont fonctionnels pour esquisser la connaissance de plus en plus profonde de soi.

À travers leur corps, Connell et, surtout, Marianne, s'offrent au monde et, du monde, ils reçoivent des signaux et des leçons qui leur permettront de devenir ce qu'ils deviendront.

Si pour Connell, le sexe sera avant tout un moyen d'explorer le plaisir, de se connecter à sa partenaire, il n'en sera pas de même pour Marianne. Beaucoup plus fragile et beaucoup plus dépendante de Connell qu'elle ne l'imagine, elle finira par devenir une version plus intime, désespérée et mélancolique de la protagoniste de 50 nuances de Grey.

Ce sera une façon, comme une autre, de toucher le fond et, à partir de là, de réélaborer les années les plus formatrices de sa vie, pleines de rencontres, d'événements et de réussites personnelles.

Normal People reconfigure le sens de l'Amour, du drame, qu'il soit adolescent ou universel, échappant à toute catégorisation et nous donnant une série qui en 10 épisodes très courts a su construire un phénomène télévisuel apprécié dans le monde entier.

Le ton délicat qui sous-tend l'ensemble de la série, la recherche et la fuite en douceur des protagonistes, le portrait ténu que chacun d'eux dresse de lui-même, font de cette série un événement incontournable.

Sa capacité à raconter ce qui se trouve à l'intérieur de chacun d'entre nous, en échappant aux mots et aux actions, n'est pas sans rappeler la trop oubliée "Rectify", une série d'il y a quelques années qui, avec beaucoup de silences et peu de mots, parvenait à dépeindre avec force les angoisses, les peurs et les volontés de son protagoniste blessé et malheureux.

Normal People fait également sienne cette caractéristique, réussissant à faire parler les interactions entre Connell et Marianne plus que les mots eux-mêmes ne pourraient le faire.

Un baiser manqué, une main qui en touche une autre, une pensée lointaine, une caresse qui touche une larme.

Normal People fonctionne par soustraction continue, laissant ses splendides interprètes porter le poids du message, de l'histoire insaisissable et intérieure des deux.

Le résultat est excellent, une série qui s'écoule lentement, sans soubresauts apparents, si ce n'est celui qu'elle suscite en chacun de nous, silencieusement, à la fin du visionnage, signe évident qu'elle a réussi à pénétrer au plus profond de chacun de nous. https://www.serialfiller.org/post/normal-people-un-titolo-che-inganna-per-una-serie-che-sorprende Terrain : 6 Développement du personnage : 9,5 Complexité : 8 Originalité : 7 Profondeur : 10 Cast : 8 Impact sur la sérialité contemporaine : 7 Composante dramatique : 9 Composante comique : 2 Aspect technique : 6 Direction : 7 Divertissement : 6 Implication émotionnelle : 10 Bande sonore : 6

Mas o Povo Normal é também um espectáculo sui generis, abrindo uma janela muito carnal na secção transversal da vida dos protagonistas.

Nudez e cenas de sexo, algumas delas muito picantes, abundam.

Apesar disso, temos dificuldade em interpretá-los de uma forma negativa, em rejeitá-los como cenas gratuitas.

Não o são.

Pelo contrário, são funcionais ao delinear o conhecimento cada vez mais profundo do eu.

Através dos seus corpos, Connell e, sobretudo, Marianne, oferecem-se ao mundo e do mundo recebem sinais e lições que lhes permitirão tornar-se naquilo em que se irão tornar.

Se para Connell, o sexo será sobretudo uma forma de explorar o prazer, de se conectar com o seu parceiro, o mesmo não será verdade para Marianne. Muito mais frágil e muito mais dependente de Connell do que ela poderia imaginar, ela acabará por se tornar uma versão mais íntima, desesperada e melancólica do protagonista de 50 Shades of Grey.

Será uma forma, tanto como qualquer outra, de atingir o fundo do poço e daí reelaborar os anos mais formativos da sua vida, cheios de encontros, eventos e sucessos pessoais.

Pessoas normais reconfiguram o significado de Amor, drama, quer seja adolescente ou universal, escapando a todas as categorizações e dando-nos uma série que em 10 episódios muito curtos foi capaz de construir um fenómeno televisivo apreciado em todo o mundo.

O tom delicado que subjaz a toda a série, a busca e fuga suave dos protagonistas, o retrato ténue que cada um deles pinta de si próprio, torna a série um acontecimento imperdível.

A sua capacidade de contar a história do que está dentro de cada um de nós, fugindo às palavras e acções, faz lembrar o "Rectificar", uma série de alguns anos atrás que, com muitos silêncios e poucas palavras, conseguiu retratar com vigor as ansiedades, medos e vontades do seu protagonista ferido e infeliz.

As pessoas normais também fazem desta característica a sua, conseguindo fazer com que as interacções de Connell e Marianne falem mais do que as próprias palavras poderiam transmitir.

Um beijo perdido, uma mão que toca outra, um pensamento distante, uma carícia que toca uma lágrima.

As pessoas normais trabalham por subtracção continuamente, deixando os seus esplêndidos artistas a carregar o peso da mensagem, da história esquiva e interior de ambas.

O resultado é excelente, uma série que escorrega lentamente, sem solavancos aparentes, excepto a que desperta em cada um de nós silenciosamente no final da visualização, um sinal claro de que conseguiu penetrar profundamente dentro de cada um de nós. https://www.serialfiller.org/post/normal-people-un-titolo-che-inganna-per-una-serie-che-sorprende Lote: 6 Desenvolvimento de personagens: 9.5 Complexidade: 8 Originalidade: 7 Profundidade: 10 Elenco: 8 Impacto na serialidade contemporânea: 7 Componente dramática: 9 Componente de comédia: 2 Aspecto técnico: 6 Sentido: 7 Entretenimento: 6 Envolvimento emocional: 10 Banda sonora: 6

Pero Normal People es también un espectáculo sui generis, que abre una ventana muy carnal a la vida de los protagonistas.

Abundan los desnudos y las escenas de sexo, algunas de ellas muy subidas de tono.

A pesar de ello, nos resulta difícil interpretarlas de forma negativa, descartarlas como escenas gratuitas.

No lo son.

Por el contrario, son funcionales para perfilar el conocimiento cada vez más profundo del yo.

A través de sus cuerpos, Connell y, sobre todo, Marianne, se ofrecen al mundo y del mundo reciben señales y lecciones que les permitirán convertirse en lo que serán.

Si para Connell el sexo será sobre todo una forma de explorar el placer, de conectar con su pareja, no ocurrirá lo mismo con Marianne. Mucho más frágil y mucho más dependiente de Connell de lo que podría imaginar, acabará convirtiéndose en una versión más íntima, desesperada y melancólica de la protagonista de 50 sombras de Grey.

Será una forma, como cualquier otra, de tocar fondo y a partir de ahí reelaborar los años más formativos de su vida, llenos de encuentros, acontecimientos y éxitos personales.

Normal People reconfigura el significado del amor, del drama, ya sea adolescente o universal, escapando a toda categorización y dándonos una serie que en 10 episodios muy cortos ha sido capaz de construir un fenómeno televisivo apreciado en todo el mundo.

El delicado tono que subyace en toda la serie, la suave búsqueda y huida de los protagonistas, el tenue retrato que cada uno de ellos pinta de sí mismo, hacen de la serie una cita ineludible.

Su capacidad para contar lo que hay dentro de cada uno, eludiendo las palabras y las acciones, recuerda a la demasiado olvidada "Rectify", una serie de hace unos años que, con muchos silencios y pocas palabras, conseguía retratar con vigor las angustias, los miedos y las voluntades de su herido y desafortunado protagonista.

Normal People también hace suya esta característica, consiguiendo que las interacciones de Connell y Marianne hablen más de lo que las propias palabras podrían transmitir.

Un beso perdido, una mano que toca a otra, un pensamiento lejano, una caricia que toca una lágrima.

Normal People funciona por sustracción continua, dejando que sus espléndidos intérpretes lleven el peso del mensaje, de la historia esquiva e interior de ambos.

El resultado es excelente, una serie que se desliza lentamente, sin sobresaltos aparentes, salvo el que despierta en cada uno de nosotros silenciosamente al final del visionado, señal inequívoca de que ha conseguido calar hondo en cada uno de nosotros. https://www.serialfiller.org/post/normal-people-un-titolo-che-inganna-per-una-serie-che-sorprende Parcela: 6 Desarrollo de personajes: 9,5 Complejidad: 8 Originalidad: 7 Profundidad: 10 Reparto: 8 Impacto en la serialidad contemporánea: 7 Componente dramático: 9 Componente de comedia: 2 Aspecto técnico: 6 Dirección: 7 Entretenimiento: 6 Implicación emocional: 10 Banda sonora: 6

›Normal People - La mia recensione - Part 2@serialfiller1978d
Un'esistenza tutt'altro che scontata, tutt'altro che già scritta.

Entrambi sono 2 ragazzi avulsi dal contesto della periferia irlandese. Sono brillanti, sensibili oltre modo, dotati di una spinta intellettuale che non ha molto a che spartire con l'ambiente che li circonda.

Quello che può sembrare come il classico racconto di un amore adolescenziale, con tutte le sue sfumature, i piccoli drammi, le goffe scelte, diverrà un doppio romanzo di formazione dai risvolti inaspettati.

Normal People non ha avuto il successo che ha avuto, "solo" perchè è stata in grado di delineare i tratti del carattere e dello spirito di Connell e Marianne lungo il loro viale del cambiamento.

Merito del successo planetario è stato il saper tratteggiare l'influenza che l'uno ha avuto sull'altro, l'incidenza del tempo trascorso insieme, la riluttanza nel sentirsi estranei anche quando le circostanze li hanno tenuti l'uno ben distante dall'altra.

Non è dunque solo una storia d'amore, con i suoi alti e bassi, ma è soprattutto una storia sull'Amore e su quanto questo sentimento possa essere effettivamente potente e capace di ispirare e incoraggiare le persone ad essere migliori, anche solo per il fatto di sentirsi accettate e meno sbagliate di quello che pensassero.

Connell è probabilmente meno intelligente e acuto di Marianne ma grazie a Marianne capisce che il suo futuro potrebbe essere ben diverso da quello che la società, gli amici, se stesso hanno scritto per lui.

Viceversa, Marianne riesce finalmente a sentirsi preda di sentimenti diversi dalla rabbia, la frustrazione e l'apatia, e questo grazie alla gentilezza dello sguardo che Connell proietta su di lei, nonostante tutto.

Entrambi sono il catalizzatore della vita dell'altro. Ecco perchè, le loro vite saranno pienamente indipendenti e assolutamente intense anche quando l'uno non sarà li a proiettare il suo vigile e amorevole sguardo sull'altra. https://www.serialfiller.org/post/normal-people-un-titolo-che-inganna-per-una-serie-che-sorprende Follow me

›Normal People - La mia recensione - Part 1@serialfiller1983d
Forse dovremmo iniziare a parlare di "fenomeno Hulu".

Recentemente "assorbita" dal colosso Disney, e presente nel pacchetto Disney +, la piattaforma streaming Hulu non rappresenta più una sorpresa.

L'avevamo conosciuta grazie a "The Handmaid's Tale", che, grazie ad una Elisabett Moss straordinaria ed un racconto distopico, ma attualissimo, aveva messo daccordo tutti, diventando il vero fenomeno seriale di quell'anno. Poi la serie ha un pò perso potenza lungo il cammino, a differenza di Hulu.

Solo in questo 2020 ha regalato a noi addicted seriali 2 ciliegie succosissime come High Fidelity e Little Fires Everywhere.

Se quelle 2 serie, tutte al femminile, hanno lasciato il segno, la serie di cui parleremo oggi ne ha lasciato uno ancora più marcato, più profondo.

Normal People è una delle migliori novità del 2020.

Tratta dal romanzo bestseller di Sally Rooney, Normal People racconta l'adolescenza di Connell e Marianne, o meglio, parte dal racconto della loro adolescenza per portarci dentro il loro percorso di crescita, soprattutto emotivo.

L'arco temporale raccontato è di alcuni anni. Un periodo abbastanza lungo da permetterci di comprendere meglio sia Marianne che Connell ed apprezzarne l'evoluzione.

E dire che il pilot lasciava presagire solo marginalmente che questa serie sarebbe stata la serie di Connell e Marianne. Pochissime altre serie sono cosi poco corali, così assolutizzanti sulle figure dei suoi 2 protagonisti.

Provate a toglierli dal racconto e il racconto morirà.

Questa che potrebbe sembrare una spada di Damocle sulla testa di Normal People, è in realtà la sua forza.

Conosciamo i 2 ragazzi nel loro habitat ordinario e obbligato, quello della scuola dell'irlandese cittadina tranquilla e anonima nella quale vivono, normale e tranquilla come altre mille città di questo mondo.

Connell è un ragazzo timido e taciturno ma molto apprezzato, sia dai compagni che dalle ragazze del liceo. Questo fa di lui una persona benvoluta, accettata, sempre gradita.

Marianne, al contrario, è una reietta. Lei non fa nulla per integrarsi, interagendo con gli altri sempre con arroganza, supponenza e irriverenza. L'intelligenza acuta e profonda della ragazza rappresenta il suo più grande fardello. Il respingimento dei suoi compagni è dettato da un'inquietudine fortissima verso un mondo che le sta enormemente stretto.

Ragazza ricca ma fragilissima, non riesce a incastrarsi con il mondo, quasi fosse un pezzo di un puzzle diverso da quello appoggiato sul tavolo da anni.

Connell e Marianne finiranno per trascorrere qualche minuto insieme, finiranno per piacersi, per sentirsi entrambi in perfetta simbiosi con l'altro.

Marianne è non filtrata agli occhi di Connell, Connell è non filtrato allo sguardo di lei.

Entrambi possono smetterla di fingere, di imporsi come il ragazzo popolare del liceo e la "stronza" che tutti odiano.

Scatterà una scintilla inspiegabile che illuminerà il loro percorso per il resto della loro esistenza. https://www.serialfiller.org/post/normal-people-un-titolo-che-inganna-per-una-serie-che-sorprende Follow me

›A Normal People (2020) review - People are crazy about this series, but why?@unbiasedwriter2208d
Have you heard about the TV series Normal People? It hasn't been on Netflix, and it hasn't aired on popular TV networks like CBS and NBC in the United States. Instead, it was produced by BBC and it aired on BBC in the UK and RTE in Ireland in April 2020, and it was also released on Hulu in the United States in April. It has received fantastic critics, and just a few days ago, I saw someone give it 6/6 as rating. What is Normal People all about? Is it worth watching?

What is Normal People about?

Normal People is a series with a total of 12 episodes. Throughout the episodes, we meet Marianne Sheridan (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Connell Waldron (Paul Mescal) as two teenagers who turn into adults in front of our eyes. Marianne is a very popular student at first, while Connell is a popular boy. For this reason, Connell doesn't dare to tell anyone about his relationship to Marianne. This is just the start of a long and messy relationship that will take them through their studies at Trinity College in Dublin.

That is the very short story of Normal People. It might sound flat, and this is not the kind of show that I normally enjoy, but I have watched all episodes, and I have actually had quite a good time doing so... Except for the fact that the series really annoys me.

What are normal people like?

The annoying part is that this is about normal people. It could have been you and me. Of course, it couldn't have been me, because I am not like Connell in the series. I am much more determined and if I want something, I take it. Also, I don't care so much about what people think... So, to me, it was a major challenge to keep my blood pressure low as I watched Connell being so extremely lame (in my eyes) and choosing wrong and being stupid so many times.

But, I do believe many people who watch Normal People will be able to associate with what Connell is going through, and also to see and understand what Marianne is going through. Maybe this series will feel like an eye-opener to some?

Have you noticed that normal people are annoying, especially if you spend time with them. So, what can you expect when you decide to spend between 5 and 6 hours to watch all the twelve episodes of Normal People? It is going to be annoying. You let two persons into your life, and they will for sure impact you in one way or another.

Normal People had more than 16 million viewer requests on BBC iPlayer in the first week after it's release. This is way higher than any other earlier program in history. It currently has a 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Should I watch Normal People or not?

I am a big fan of crazy humor, high adrenaline action movies, and detailed detective movies. This didn't fall into any of those categories (not even close). This is a slow drama with beautiful Irish accent. But, even though this isn't the kind of series I would really watch, I actually had a good time watching it... besides all the occasions in which I wanted to throw a chair at either Marianne or at Connell, simply because they made terrible choices (that I of course would never have done).

As a result, I would give Normal People a chance. However, I do understand that some macho men will call this terrible, boring, and so on... and I have no problem understanding that either. In fact, you don't need to be very macho for this to be boring. But, the younger audience will probably relate better to the characters, and that is why it has turned so popular among people in the age group between 18 and 35 years in the UK.

My Normal People score

7.5/10

It made me furious about what was going on way too often, but still, it had a strange magic to it, and it always made me cheer for the characters in the series to make the right choices.

Where to watch Normal People?

You can currently stream Normal People online on NRK in Norway, on BBC iPlayer, and on Hulu in the United States. For more information on how to watch Normal People online, check this article.

Have you seen Normal People?

Have you seen the show yourself? I would love to hear your honest opinion on the show. Did you get angry when you saw it? Did you recognize yourself in the struggles of Marianne and Connell? Write down your thoughts and let me know about them.

›Normal People: First Look@serialfiller2237d

In the past few days, a highly anticipated series like "The Eddy" by Damien Chazelle has come out. The vision of the pilot was a half disappointment but there is time for a redemption. It happens, however, that unexpected or even unknown series catch your attention when you least expect it. This is the case with the British series

NORMAL PEOPLE

12 episodes of about half an hour that would make no sense to see if not for the delicacy of the characters, the touch used in telling a seemingly trivial, normal story. And this is exactly what attracts a lot of this series, the ability to tell a very simple story, a (love) story between two teenagers. Watching the first episodes you will realize that you do not want to continue watching. Why were there incredibly original ideas? Actoral performances never seen before? Blockbuster special effects? None of that. There's that alchemy, that wonderful patina of innocence that envelops every moment lived together with Connel and Marianne. 2 solid but very fragile souls who find themselves irremediably and unexpectedly. Marianne is a very fragile soul but who hides in public behind a "bitchy bitch" air as a pungent girl with burning and sometimes arrogant comments compared to her peers. Connel is a sporty boy, much loved by friends and schoolmates and also by girls but who is basically very shy and very uncomfortable with people of his age. They are 2 very, very mature people who manage, in silence and dialogue, to be perfect for each other. Theirs is a genuine love, a beautiful friendship but it is a relationship to hide to avoid that others, companions, friends, peers can marginalize each other and change their attitude towards others. Some might call it teen drama but teen drama is not. It's something more, much more. To be seen.

Nei giorni scorsi è uscita una serie attesissima come "The Eddy" a firma Damien Chazelle. La visione del pilot è stata una mezza delusione ma c'è tempo per un riscatto. Capita che però, siano serie inattese o addirittura sconosciute a catturare l'attenzione quando meno te lo aspetti. E' il caso della serie britannica

NORMAL PEOPLE

12 episodi di circa mezzora che non avrebbe alcun senso vedere se non per la delicatezza dei personaggi, il tatto utilizzato nel raccontare una storia apparentemente banale, normale. Ed è proprio questo che attrae molto di questa serie, il saper raccontare una vicenda semplicissima, una storia (d'amore) fra 2 adolescenti. Guardando i primi episodi vi renderete conto appunto di non voler continuare la visione. Perchè ci sono stati spunti incredibilmente originali? Performance attoriali mai viste prima? Effetti speciali da blockbuster? Nulla di tutto questo. C'è quell'alchimia, quella stupenda patina di innocenza che avvolge ogni attimo vissuto insieme a Connel e Marianne. 2 anime solide ma fragilissime che si trovano irrimediabilmente ed inaspettatamente. Marianne è un'anima fragilissima ma che in pubblico si nasconde dietro un'aria da "stronza" da ragazza pungente che con commenti brucianti e a volte anche arroganti rispetto ai coetanei. Connel è un ragazzo sportivo, molto amato da amici e compagni di scuola e anche dalle ragazze ma che è fondamentalmente molto timido e molto a disagio con le persone della sua età. Sono 2 persone molto, molto mature che riescono, nei silenzi e nei dialoghi, ad essere perfetti l'uno per l'altra. Il loro è un amore genuino, una bella amicizia ma è un rapporto da nascondere per evitare che gli altri, i compagni, gli amici, i coetanei possano emarginare l'uno per colpa dell'altra e cambiare atteggiamento nei confronti degli altri. Qualcuno potrebbe definirlo teen drama ma teen drama non è. E' qualcosa di più, molto di più. Da vedere.
