TV Mini-Series Review: Normal People (2020). BBC and Hulu.

A 12-part series based on the 2018 bestselling novel of the same name by Sally Rooney, this story follows a pair of young Irish lovers, their on again/off again romance and friendship, and their respective personality developments as individuals from their last year of high school into their years together and apart at Trinity College in Dublin. 

It's very touching, and definitely evocative of many of the common experiences and life lessons of sexual and romantic relationships during the late teens and early twenties.  It has a lot of fairly explicit sex in it, although most of it is handled very sweetly and tastefully.  Recommended.
