Normal People (2020) | Limited Series | Thoughts

19/Nov/2022. Watched. 

 My rating: 8.2/10. 

 This past month and a half has been difficult. Sometimes the yearning is so strong that it just... especially when you know there's no chance of seeing them anytime soon. I sometimes wonder if missing someone can actually make you sick. Yes. Yes it can. 

 And to cure myself of it, I restarted watching movies. Romance movies, mostly. And Normal People, the 2020 Hulu series which is an adaptation of the Sally Rooney novel of same name, fit snugly into the mood I am in.

 It tells the story of an outcast-of-a girl and a shy jock who fall in love in high school and it follows their will-they-or-won't-they relationship till they are 22. (I don't think I'm ready to talk about movies yet. Too distracted.)

 But let me just say that a few scenes and dialogues in this felt like they were lifted straight from my life. Especially in the tenth episode, I believe. 

 Great performances, intimate and melancholic atmosphere is what made me binge it. And yes, by binge I mean I watched it in 5 sittings. Which is not really bingeing 

 I'm not enjoying anything more than a 8/10 nowadays. I hate it when it happens.

 Just look at this scattered piece. Its not even a piece. I'm sorry.
