***Normal People*** is a [romantic drama](/source/Romantic_drama) [limited series](/source/Limited-run_series) based on the 2018 novel [of the same name](/source/Normal_People) by [Sally Rooney](/source/Sally_Rooney). It was written by Rooney, [Alice Birch](/source/Alice_Birch) and [Mark O'Rowe](/source/Mark_O'Rowe), and directed by [Lenny Abrahamson](/source/Lenny_Abrahamson) and [Hettie Macdonald](/source/Hettie_Macdonald).[1] The series follows the relationship between Marianne Sheridan ([Daisy Edgar-Jones](/source/Daisy_Edgar-Jones)) and Connell Waldron ([Paul Mescal](/source/Paul_Mescal)), who attend the same secondary school and the same university.

The series was greenlit in 2019, with Edgar-Jones and Mescal announced to star.[2] The remaining cast was rounded out soon after Rooney was confirmed as one of the series' writers, alongside Birch and O'Rowe. Macdonald was then announced as a director with Abrahamson, continuing his long-standing relationship with the series' producers, [Element Pictures](/source/Element_Pictures).[3] [Principal photography](/source/Principal_photography) began in May 2019 and concluded in February 2020, with filming locations including [County Sligo](/source/County_Sligo), [Dublin](/source/Dublin), [Sant'Oreste](/source/Sant'Oreste), and [Luleå](/source/Lule%C3%A5).

*Normal People* first premiered in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2020, on [BBC Three](/source/BBC_Three_(streaming_service)). Its episodes began airing weekly on [RTÉ One](/source/RT%C3%89_One) in Ireland from 28 April until June 2, and it premiered in the United States on [Hulu](/source/Hulu) on 29 April. The series received positive reviews, primarily for its cast performances: Mescal was nominated for [Outstanding Lead Actor](/source/Primetime_Emmy_Award_for_Outstanding_Lead_Actor_in_a_Limited_or_Anthology_Series_or_Movie) at the [72nd Primetime Emmy Awards](/source/72nd_Primetime_Emmy_Awards) and won for [Best Actor](/source/British_Academy_Television_Award_for_Best_Actor) at the [67th British Academy Television Awards](/source/2021_British_Academy_Television_Awards).[4]

## Reception

### Critical response

The series was widely praised. On [Rotten Tomatoes](/source/Rotten_Tomatoes), the series has a 91% rating, with an average score of 8.2/10 based on 91 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, "Anchored by Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal's vulnerable performances, *Normal People* is at once intimate and illuminating, beautifully translating the nuances of its source material."[25] On [Metacritic](/source/Metacritic), the series has a score of 82 out of 100, based on reviews from 25 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[26]

In a positive review for *[Variety](/source/Variety_(magazine))*, [Caroline Framke](/source/Caroline_Framke) wrote: "With its trifecta of elegant writing, directing, and acting, *Normal People* is just as bleak and uncompromising as Rooney's novel, making you both crave and dread knowing—or perhaps more accurately, *experiencing*—what happens."[27] [NPR](/source/NPR)'s [Linda Holmes](/source/Linda_Holmes_(writer)) praised the main cast's performances and their chemistry, writing, "[Mescal and Edgar-Jones] have the vulnerability it takes to maintain confidence. They've both figured out how to put a particular warmth in their eyes when they're able to find those connected moments, like a light that flips on. [Mescal] is a stunning talent for someone who is genuinely just starting out in television — it's a treat to see [the actors] work so well together".[28]

In a negative review, Jessa Crispin of *[The Guardian](/source/The_Guardian)* called the series "a gutless soap opera for millennials" and wrote the series is a "dull, tedious reworking of a romance plot as old as time". Crispin also criticized its unrealistic depiction of university freshmen, casting of older actors to play teenagers, and lack of depth, writing, "[*Normal People*] analyzes itself with offhand comments so you don't have to do any thinking."[29] In another negative review, Matt Fagerholm of *[RogerEbert.com](/source/RogerEbert.com)* compared *Normal People* to "being stuck on a bad date that refuses to end", criticizing its writing, Mescal's casting, and its "cowardly" and "unforgivable" characters, calling Marianne a "despairing addition to an array of submissive heroines routinely defined by the men in their lives" and concluded that the series is "a frustrating, fractured romance between an inarticulate weakling and a woman who deserves much better".[30]

The series received controversy for its nudity and sex scenes:[31] while the work of [Ita O'Brien](/source/Ita_O'Brien) as the show's [intimacy coordinator](/source/Intimacy_coordinator) was praised,[32] some viewers called in to complain on *[Liveline](/source/Liveline)*, arguing the nudity was excessive or inappropriate.[33] The series also received controversy by excluding overt mentions of *[The Communist Manifesto](/source/The_Communist_Manifesto)* and *[The Golden Notebook](/source/The_Golden_Notebook)*: Rooney, who describes herself as a [Marxist](/source/Marxist), included overt mentions of those books in her original novel.[34]

### Viewing figures

*Normal People* reportedly gave [BBC Three](/source/BBC_Three) its best ever week on [iPlayer](/source/BBC_iPlayer) (26 April to 3 May), receiving over 16.2 million programme requests across the 12 episodes, about 5 million of which were from 16- to 34-year-olds, and bringing BBC Three requests up to 21.8 million, doubling the previous record of 10.8 million from the release of the first series of *[Killing Eve](/source/Killing_Eve)*. Seventy per cent of BBC Three requests that week were for *Normal People* and a quarter had finished all 12 episodes.[35][36] It became the most-streamed series of the year on the BBC, with 62.7 million views from April to November 2020.[37]

The first two episodes were reported to have been watched on [RTÉ One](/source/RT%C3%89_One) by an average of 371,000 viewers with an additional 19,000 on RTÉ One +1 and 301,000 streams on [RTÉ Player](/source/RT%C3%89_Player), becoming the most watched opening of a drama series on RTÉ Player. Thirty per cent of 15- to 34-year-olds watching TV were watching *Normal People*.[38] The finale had over 319,000 viewers, 33% of the total RTÉ audience and 20% increase over the previous week. In June 2020, it was reported that *Normal People* had garnered over 3 million views on [RTÉ Player](/source/RT%C3%89_Player), breaking the previous record for the streaming service of 1.2 million, which was held by the fourth series of *[Love/Hate](/source/Love%2FHate_(TV_series))*.[39]

Speaking on the series' popularity, Prathyush Parasuraman of *[Film Companion](/source/Film_Companion)* wrote: "Rarely have I seen the sort of cultural dialogue that I saw [from] the release of *Normal People*."[40]
