10 Moments From ‘Normal People’ That Broke Our Hearts

Hulu’s 12-episode adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Normal People has struck an emotional chord with viewers tuning in to see Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Connell’s (Paul Mescal) heartbreaking love story unfold.

Beginning with their school days set in the small fictional western Ireland town of Carricklea and tracking through their university years at Trinity College, Normal People sees the vastly different individuals drawn together and torn apart through the years. When their relationship begins, Connell’s a popular and outgoing young man as opposed to Marianne’s withdrawn and lonely introverted side.
