if you’re lonely and horny, this is the worst thing you could watch. do Not do it.

it’s two beautiful people, it’s deeply irish, it’s a tight six hour binge, it’s the most romantic fucking thing i’ve ever seen

do you believe no one's gonna ever love you and you'll die alone because of your insecurities that you'll never be enough for someone or are you normal?

A painful portrait of the idiosyncrasies of anxious-avoidant relationships (or even just the particulars of relationships between two emotionally-developing people who don’t know what they want but know they want each other.) Love Lenny Abrahamson and didn’t know Hettie Macdonald’s work, but absolutely love how well her half shows the quietly devastating effects other relationships had on theirs. I wish it had less of an uneven focus off of Marianne’s life outside of Connell! Very ““fun“” to watch hot people touch each other during a global pandemic where they have said you are to do exactly not that.

i feel like a normal people binge followed by fleabag s2 as a chaser would actually break a person

not to be dramatic but i am never going to get over this emotionally

Connell Waldron is the only man.

so much of this is just him looking at her, trying not to look at her, looking for her

it hurts

I loved this more than I love myself and I think that says a lot about me. 

This single handedly reinvented romances, intimacy, sex scenes, anxiety, losses, seperation, rejection, heartbreaks and faithfull book to screen adaptations. Mariannes and Connells love story was one of the best I've ever seen and their chemistry was just unreal. I feel nothing but the loneliness that this story left behind right now. Everybody who finds a love like this in the span of their lifetime can consider themselves so lucky.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

that is all.

A beautifully portrayed adaptation of the book, precise storytelling of Teenage Life to Adulthood from Love,lust, Identity and Self Expression. I love how this series really delved into the idea of intimacy beyond sex. Every scene with Connell and Marianne are deeply connected and most of the time, the intimate scenes captures the audience attention as if they’re invading Connell’s and Marianne’s space. This is definitely a must watch!

Qué experiencia tan más bonita es ver esta miniserie.
En momentos llega a ser cursi si, pero no deja de ser real y conmovedora.
Esos primerisimos planos son una joya.
Todo se siente muy íntimo, me quedo con muchas cosas que decir pero que son para mí.

Set yourself a day to watch this beauty of a miniseries. As a movie it’s probably less than 5 stars but I reward good television when it’s worthy. I will say that the female lead is more compelling than the male, but they work great together. Natural dialogue and a killer soundtrack make for a quick binge. It never falls off the cliche cliff. Just a smart series about young people finding romance. One of the best things I’ve seen to come out of that wretched year that must not be named.

this show would've been so much better if it just.... didn't have the love story between the two main characters. like their romantic relationship was so bad and they worked so much better as just friends and i didn't even really care about the end because i mostly felt relief that they're finally gonna be apart from each other. like do straight people not realize that people can have profound relationships without them wanting to fuck the other person, especially w a man and a woman, is that not a thought that occurs to them?

Never a show has passed so much emotions to me, I felt like I was living their life, their troubles, their love. It was beautiful, it felt real, I was overwhelmed. Thank you for this masterpiece, and seriously the actors are daaaamn great!

Watched about half of this series so maybe can’t comment in the same way as I could if I’d watched the whole thing. But I just couldn’t get behind this. Tried to watch it multiple times cause loads of people I knew were into it... But just found it a bit of a drag

imagina viver um amor

there were things done in this show that i've never seen before or haven't been pulled off as well as this show pulled it off. so. yeah. i watched this entire season in two days.

i dont know if i love this so much because i loved the book (because this has happened only for me to realize years later that it was awful i was just loving it for the book) or because this was perfect (i'm leaning towards this one)

falling in love is a w e s o m e . i miss 9th grade.
