Does Anyone Watch Normal People?

[Togo]

I only ask because I have just been listening to the soundtrack. I say listening but I suppose I should say hearing the soundtrack. I was sittting at the desktop and I had left the TV in the kitchen on with the sound up just a tad higher than normal. About 25mins ago I became aware of a stunning piece of piano music and then on two more occasions even more great melodies floating through. I got up to see what was on.........and it was going off. The programme was Normal People. Doesn't sound like my sort of tv show but the music was something special. Does anyone watch it? What is it about. I will be looking for the soundtrack for sure.

I don’t watch it. I’ve read a lot about it. It’s about a teenage love affair, so will only make me feel a bit sad about my lost youth :/

I agree, togo, some really lovely, unusual stuff. Here:

Well I am gobsmacked. Honestly had not seen any prior reference to this programme until you all kindly responded. Brainiac that piece in the Standard was almost written in advance for me. Ta. The playlist is even in there, but I will be looking for what sounded like two or three classical, but modern pieces that featured tonight. I will inspect Buen's links in the morning and see if I have missed a trick there. Off to bed now. Near to the end of a superb new sc/fi book now, and need my space traveller head on. Neal Asher's third offering in the Rise of the Jain trilogy. The Human. Mind blowing in it's own way.
