Good Bye to All That: Normal People

Welcome to the second episode of Good Bye to All That – Pop
Break’s television podcast series that focuses on season (and
sometimes series) finales of shows you absolutely need to be
watching.


Pop Break’s Television Editor Alex Marcus is joined by former
Television Editor and current senior writer/podcast Matt Taylor –
who you’ve heard on And The Winner Still is Like, and The Way Too
Early Oscar Prediction Podcast.


This episode they talk about Hulu’s smash sensation, Normal
People. Normal People is an Irish series based on the novel (of
the same name) by author Sally Rooney — her second novel. The
series examines the relationship of Marianne Sheriden (Daisy
Edgar-Jones) and Connell Waldron (Paul Mescal) from the final
days of “secondary school” (high school) and their years as
students at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. The series was
adapted by Rooney, and Alice Birch (Lady Macbeth), and Mark
O’Rowe (Intermission, Perrier’s Bounty). The series was directed
by Lenny Abrahamson (Room) and Hettie Macdonald (Doctor Who –
‘Blink‘).
