Before watching Normal People, if I had seen him on the street, I wouldn't have looked twice. Now, after watching it, I think he's absolutely the most gorgeous man ever to live.

[stephannybarreto]

crazy how I developed a crush in both of them

[fflewzr]

watching all this content of them because i just would like to imagine marianne and connell happy and thriving

[pristi]

The therapy session scene was so moving it broke my heart. such a great acting by these two, amazing show

[joshuathornley]

if only they could communicate so well in the show

[niamhmoir]

The acting in Normal People is amazing. It feels so real. When they cry, I cry.

[habsoh]

he is SO right about the sleeping on public transport thing! It’s like the most uncomfortable place to fall asleep but the naps on there be HITTIN’! Also your body somehow deffffinitely wakes you up when it’s your stop 🤣

[mrirani]

Not to be dramatic or anything but I’d die for connell

[miyabi]

They have such good chemistry that their awkward handshake at the end wasn't awkward at all. Love them so much!

[GeraldineMcK]

I had to process they are not a couple

[melpineapple]

They were definitely each other’s holiday romance 😂

[littlangel]

I just finished watching the whole show and it literally consumed me... Such great acting, I love them both so much :')

[jordenmcmenamin]

At the start of the series I thought Marianne looks just like Dakota Johnson and in the second half she looked almost like Anne Hathaway

[gracewaine]

okay i didn’t think he could get any fitter and then he wore that jacket

[TheMiaSR]

He’s from Maynooth...that’s the LAST stop on the bus route, he doesn’t have to worry about not waking up and missing his stop 😂

[themripley]

Why'd they get so weird over the holiday romance question? Something you'd like to share with the class guys? 😂

[Clisare]

Why was this shot for a 90s television

[davidbosquette]

They should be together in real-life. It just makes perfect sense to me.

[stevennorth]

Just finished the whole series on I player love every moment. Some of the best acting I've ever seen a very believable love story. Extremely sad it had to end.
Well done everyone involved.

[tildamay]

“how do you know when to wake up?”
“your body tells you.... i think”
😂
