I watched this series in two days, it completely pulled me in and mesmerised me. I don't know what more a person could want from a love story, it really has everything. It's not an easy-breezy story either, there are parts actually quite difficult to watch and a rawness not many shows/films of a similar nature manage to capture, in my opinion.
Paul Mescal's performance of Connell was really quite remarkable. I empathised so much with his character and he handled the intense characteristics of his role so well, whilst also being extremely loveable and warm. Similarly, Daisy Edgar-Jones captured Marianne's unhinged nature heartbreakingly well, whilst also portraying a character whom I cared for greatly. I just wanted her to be okay so badly.
The series on the surface is unremarkable in terms of story; it's quite a standard 'love story'. However, something about the chemistry between the Mescal and Edgar-Jones, alongside the beautifully peaceful cinematography and music really sets it apart as something to experience and dive in to. It's so immersive.
I'm 18 years old and have never experienced a love and relationship like Connell and Marianne's, maybe I wont, as it seems like a real one-off, but it's something that I think I would like in my life, even if it comes with the less beautiful side. It seems like the purest thing a person can experience.
Gosh, really great show.
