"Normal People" is a TV series about two people that are madly,deeply in love with eachother but cannot be together. It's a few episodes too long, but the whole point of the series is to explore that human connection, that absolutely perfect connection with another person,where being together with that person is absolutely easy, but because of circumstances difficult to control these two people cannot stay together for long, but it is clear that they're meant to be, and it's clear that they belong together. Paul Mescal shines throughout. His emotional range makes it easy for us to fall in love with him. Both lead performances are wonderful though. Daisy-Edgar Jones is a force in this, commanding every episode. Their chemistry is undeniable and it is because of it that the series works. Both actors exposed themselves throughout this series, gave us so much of their self and it is because of that that "Normal People" acquired the status that it has.
