This was a well made drama with terrific acting from Marianne and Connell, however....are they really supposed to represent two "normal people"? Because their characters certainly made a good job at over complicating life, repeating past mistakes, and taking the difficult path when simpler, more honest ones stood before them. I appreciate that this was the essence of the drama, but I just found myself frustrated at their decision making, even allowing for the complexity of the characters.. Disappointingly, at the end, my first thought was "is that it?"

Great acting and the two stars deserve to be recognised, but for me, this was too self indulgent and more appropriately should have been named abnormal people.
