Normal People

10.15PM, RTé ONE ★★★★

It’s one of the most-talked about dramas of the year – and not just because lockdown has restricted our topics of conversation.Tonight, the relationship between Marianne and Connell (Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones, right) takes more twists and turns in this double bill. After breaking up with Jamie, a split which has cost her some of her friends, Marianne is on an exchange programme in Sweden, where she embarks on a relationship with a photographer. But when rumours about her love life make their way back to Dublin, Connell becomes concerned.
