As a romance story, it is average, despite the superb acting.
The hidden appeal of “ Normal People “ is that it becomes a
mirror for each of us. For anyone who has been in a relationship,
some part of the on-screen drama will hit home in a personal way.
The resurrection of such personal, long forgotten feelings and emotions,
will move you in a way no other drama does. In years to come,
“ Normal People “ will be a classic, for this very reason.
