I waited the whole episode for him to see her, and I was led straight with this thought: the college yard - no, the auditorium - no.. and already at the party it was expected, although I thought it would be a chance meeting, and not "let's go introduce you to my girlfriend.". there is such electricity between them again, it is so pleasant to watch the scenes of their dialogues - glances, close-ups of eyes, lips.. Don't break away!

How cool it was to see who had a life in college. Antipodes to each other: Connell was popular at school, now it's Marianne's turn (I may be wrong in spelling names). A small evolution of each character is visible. And this SMS at the end is a ding! I didn't expect the series to hook me at all.

It's so sad, of course: Connel doesn't like the metropolitan life and the university audience, Marianne seems to have made friends and is no longer an outcast, but it seems that this is more and more a pretense and overcoming herself. In general, both are not exactly happy.

I will express an unpopular opinion: I don't like Marianne in this story anymore. Yes, Connell showed himself to be a coward at school, afraid to admit to his friends about their relationship (although, as it turned out later, everyone guessed about them). Marianne, on the other hand, looks like a little evil top, even at the beginning of the relationship she suspects him that he is not sincere with her, and asks how often he does this with girls. When he says he's going to miss her, she asks if he's going to miss having sex with her. When he told her that she was beautiful at the party, she offers to introduce him to her friends. She denies and devalues his feelings. She began to ignore him, and ignored the desperate call on the night of graduation, when he finally confessed his love to her.
Perhaps she is behaving this way for a reason: in a short episode in his car, she asks Connell if he has ever beaten women. And she says that her father beat her mother. And it's like she's trying to push Connell away in advance, before that happens.

Marianne shows that she is very traumatized. She just can't have a safe relationship scheme in her head because her father beat up her mother. Subconsciously, she will be on the lookout all the time, will try to earn love, etc. Maybe she'll grow up in college, but it's understandable behavior for a school.

Marianne still kept her promise not to pretend that she does not know Connell :)
how cool she is in this series, although it is clear that it is more pretentious, but she has definitely become more confident in herself, it can not but rejoice.

an interesting transformation of Marianne's status, although not particularly plausible for life.
Because she couldn't keep in touch with anyone, build communication, consider interests and show empathy, since she was in the status of a loner at school. And she clung to the first one who gave her a little warmth, agreeing to the role at the baseboard. This is already a certain life scenario.

And then the whole soul of the company, the star of the parties, pumped up the image. He participates in debates with reasoned arguments and without snapping. Did she acquire all these skills while driving from home to college?

@vk164458: The status transformation is quite plausible. In part, I myself repeated the path of Marianne's school - university. When new people come around who don't know you from the old one, it can greatly change your position in society, because all relationships start from scratch. Moreover, it was made clear in the series that Marianne began to change in her old school, starting to take care of herself and dress beautifully, especially the last frame in the classroom, when all the students were in nondescript school uniforms, and she specially wore a bright yellow blouse. In general, her relationship with Connell made it clear to her that she deserved more.

It's not that surprising. The school had its own criteria for coolness - sports, the ability to get along with the opposite sex, appearance. Not everyone goes to college, and those who are smarter will value intelligence more there. Plus, everyone is a little lost there, a new place, new people, huddling together. And the new environment helps to get out of the usual scenario. Quite plausibly, Marianne was able to argue at school, she was sharp-tongued. She wasn't scary, she just didn't try to preen up like other girls at school, make up somehow brightly, etc. So changes are quite possible.

Well, look at Marianne in Connell's place, did she succeed? yes, he does not hide that he knows him, but then it went on, he hides that they were close, does not protect him in front of his half-friends. How is it better?

Oh, but this series turned out to be very atmospheric and interesting. if the first three episodes, in fact, nothing happened, then there is already some movement.
By the way, they have very unusual seminars! however, I would be afraid to express my opinion on them, just like Connell at first :D

The only thing I'm missing is the time frame designation
Somehow I can't understand how much time has passed, if half a year, then how quickly she changed, or she got into her company of the same as her

Life is a game: I was a star at school, but turned out to be a gray spontaneity; I was an outcast- I became an excellent popular and beloved person- life. When I saw Marian, I thought that several years had passed- I had changed a lot and dramatically- but beautiful

Marianne is very beautiful at Gareth's party, and I like how she has blossomed and gained more confidence in herself. Connal also changed, began to express his opinion. Marianne turned on the defense again when Connal tried to bring her to a sincere conversation, and again reduced everything to jokes and sex. Both are very attracted to each other, but are not ripe for a healthy relationship

Finally, they are already in college, there are much more interesting events happening here, and it is interesting to see how the series will teach this period of their lives. Marianne was very beautiful at the party, this style suits her very well

That is, we are talking about the problems of advanced teenagers and young people. I even remembered "Clever Wil Hunting". But there are no psychologists in the film of such a high level as the hero of Robin Williams. In this sense, we see the work of very average specialists. Therefore, young people will have to solve all their problems themselves. This book is written and a film is made about how they try to do this, about the mistakes, successes and failures of modern Western youth

For some reason, I want their story to last throughout their lives, and not just at the stages of growing up, only with a happy ending, which is of course rare for such a genre
