Normal People Season 1 Recap

The show mainly starts with Connell and Marianne’s final high school years where they slowly become close and end up having a secret relationship with each other. However, Marianne’s social status has started to affect the relationship, even though they are trying their best to resolve it.

Teen love seems quite difficult for both of them. Soon we see a breaking point for both of them. Connell’s popular and successful social status did not help Marianne as she was constantly bullied and eventually withdrew from school due to the emotional turmoil she was going through.

After entering college, they had their own personal struggles regarding their family along with social circles, and with more efforts needed on Connell’s part, it became difficult for him to adjust again.

Soon they again grew apart due to their personal issues and Marianne moved overseas, making it difficult for both of them. But, through all the struggles they ended up sticking to each other trying to be a constant support towards the end of the season.
