I came across this series in the UK, but see it's on HULU across the pond.

This review had me laughing and it might inspire you to watch it



"Recently, a woman named Mary called into the popular Irish radio show “Liveline” with a complaint about “Normal People,” the television adaptation of Sally Rooney’s 2018 novel by the same name, now airing on Hulu and BBC 3. “I imagine it was like something you’d expect to see in a porno movie, certainly not for family viewing,”   "


OK, it has 40 plus 'steamyish' scenes and *I* think the acting is brilliant, plus I adore Ireland's NW coastline and Trinity College, Dublin and had many great childhood memories of Sligo and Donegal, before the troubles.  Their journey takes us to Sweden and Italy.



It's slow and deep and the main characters may make you want to stand up and 'shake them into their senses', but for me.. it's been THE best TV viewing during this lockdown and V ( my ex-wife ) could be Marianne in so many ways ...Looks and expecting her fella to know what she was thinking ..

Watching this helps me understand why so many gifted people cannot cope with the simplest of social skills ...

I hope I provoked you enough to watch it
