Cork star of Normal People defends show dubbed 'raunchiest' on tv: 'It’s a story that most people relate to'


Based on the novel of the same name by Sally Rooney, the series follows the relationship between Marianne Sheridan (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Conall Waldron (Paul Mescal), as they navigate adulthood from their final days in secondary school to their undergraduate years in Trinity College Dublin. The show also stars fellow Glanmire actor Sarah Greene, who plays Conall’s mother Lorraine.

The show has attracted a massive global following, including the likes of reality star Kourtney Kardashian.

Eanna’s mother had been a huge fan of the novel even before the show.
