Chitwan: Today I come with a tv show recommendation that I think all of you will love!
Normal People just came out on Hulu and is based on the book Normal People by Sally Rooney. The book itself was amazing but this tv adaptation is just out of this world. Never seen just a perfect adaptation of anything on the screen, it is so true to its source material. It’s a romance angsty genre with plenty of sexy time 😉 The acting by the leads is superb and you can’t help but binge-watch the show in one sitting!
