They waited until February 2020 to film the Sweden scenes in Luleå so snow would be on the ground and the Baltic Sea frozen over for Marianne to walk on. [9] Music [ edit ] Prathyush Parasuraman of Film Companion, wrote, "Rarely have I seen the sort of cultural dialogue that I saw post the release of Normal People in April 2020, when it was released in the UK. Based on Sally Rooney's namesake book, the story follows Marianne and Connell through the later years of their high-school, their years at college, and the post-collegiate restlessness, failing to be what one wished for oneself only years ago. It's set in and around Ireland, with brief detours to sunny Italy and snowy Sweden." [30] Rear view of Marianne walking through school. She is determined.

There is so much to say about Rooney’s fiction—in my experience, when people who’ve read her meet they tend to peel off into corners to talk.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times The series was released on BBC Three in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2020, followed by weekly airings on BBC One.

Rather than being based on any preexisting material, Harper’s Island is an example of an excellent original concept: a group of friends and family members travel to Harper’s Island for a wedding only to discover there is a killer among them. And the protagonist’s mother was killed by him seven years ago… I went into a tunnel with this book and didn’t want to come out. Absolutely engrossing and surprisingly heart-breaking with more depth, subtlety, and insight than any one novel deserves. Young love is a subject of much scorn, but Rooney understands the cataclysmic effects our youth has on the people we become. She has restored not only love’s dignity, but also its significance.” —Stephanie Danler, author of Sweetbitter

The production has received particular praise for its realistic portrayal of intimate content [25] and the work of Ita O'Brien as the show's intimacy coordinator.
