Did you know that we’re up to other things in other places too?


Oh, we’re on Snapchat too - just in case you were wondering… add us, bbcthree.

One of the best scenes of the series. The chemistry is electric - her eyes, her voice when she says “it’s not” and “what’s not to like about you?” So good.

I love this scene - it made me cry even though it wasn't overtly emotional. It captures so beautifully the pain when you encounter a past love, someone who broke your heart, and you have to sit there pretending like everything is okay, making small talk, when deep down all you want to do is talk about the way things were. It's a combination of heartache but also happiness to see that person again. Daisy and Paul captured this so well.

Finished this series a month ago. Still think about it often. This show, if you let it, leaves an indelible mark that you can't really shake.

[samholder]

the delivery of "it's not" is just magical

[LivinitBigTime]

It's cool. About 90% of the dialogue is taken straight from the source (the novel). A faithful adaptation!

I LOVED how Marianne blossomed in college and how Connell struggled a bit but finds his footing later and remembers it as a perfect time in his life. I related to this so much and it was just one of the many reasons I truly loved this series and why it has stayed with me.

“What’s not to like about you” is such a warm/comforting thing to hear

[MK-itwk]

I love how in the beginning she's trying to act "cool" on the outside. However, as the conversation progresses she begins to open up and expose her true emotions.
Subtle but really well done, what a show.

The part when Marianne called Connell in the middle of the night and told him “I miss having you in my life.” I cried.

[piadavin]

"What's not to like about you?" I die every time.

[trinaq]

I'm glad that they don't try to act like Marianne wasn't attractive during her school days, as she was always pretty, which Connell even acknowledges. She just puts more of an effort into her appearance while at college, like many people who find their "calling" in college. 🎓😊💗

[traviseastrace]

Why I love normal people so much is because I literally lived this, and it's so relatable; The awkward conversations the fights, the breakdowns. It's just so good to find someone that's encapsulated all of this soo damn well.

One of the most underrated scenes was afterwards when Theresa asks Marianne for Connell's number and she says "what's not to like about him"... I still can't shake this book it's so bloody good.

[marianix]

My body, literally cannot handle the chemistry between these two!! What a show!!! Omg!!! I am not able!!! *finds a corner to lay down and cry in*

[Yourhighnessnona]

This show made me realise as a 30 year old woman that I need to be more vulnerable and intimate. Even the sex scenes were so beautiful because it showed how their connection climaxed into this special thing. I have no idea where I was when I was 17 or 22, but I wasn't there with an open heart as these two characters. That is for sure. This show means a lot to me. It showed me what I've been missing all along and I am grateful for that.

[umeed]

Many times Marianne subtly (or maybe not so subtly) checks Connell out with her eyes. She conveys that hunger, that lust in her eyes. Connell has such a sweet persona, someone who isn't that sure of himself yet who is undeniably sweet and kind.

[todayiglowup]

when i watch this show i feel like im intruding in their private moment, ESPECIALLY during their intimate scenes. its almost like im watching them behind a closet or smth lol

[morse]

A brilliant scene within a brilliant drama in which both the characters are simply amazing. The real chemistry between the two lead actors makes the series so incredibly moving.

[kellyannnoble]

One of the best series I have ever loved I watched it and still thinking about it I have the soundtrack on repeat.

[tacs]

I’ve just finished this all 12 episodes in a day. I’ve never really considered movies or shows works of art but this was a work of art, the mood, the tone, the characters, dialogue etc. I never want to stop knowing about Marianne and Connell; how they end, I need this story until their old age. This kind of brilliance and beauty in tv only comes once in a while and I’m literally going to recommend this show to everyone I know. Everything about this show was comforting and I can’t wait to read the book. I’m so glad bbc i player had this on because what a gem this show was.
