IMDb Picks: The Best Movies & Shows of 202013 of 47
"Normal People" | Available to Stream on Hulu
This show aired here in the UK on BBC Three early in lockdown and we watched it together as a family – our “kids” are a few years older than the characters so do not worry! The story is compelling and both Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal are excellent in the leading roles. It was a real honour for IMDb to be able to recognise Daisy via a STARmeter award based upon how her performance in the show resonated with IMDb’s customers. — Col
Sometimes a show comes along that lingers with you long after, and “Normal People” held that connection with me this year. With brilliantly nuanced performances from Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones as the leads, I felt ALL the emotions alongside Connell and Marianne – two extremely flawed, beautiful, relatable (and sometimes downright infuriating!) characters that I became deeply invested in. As soon as I finished the series, I picked up the novel to revisit my journey with them and uncovered a rare instance where the book and its on-screen adaptation are equally good. — Alicia
