How wounded they are... and beautiful...

Have you thought about where this line is, how to understand when you are doing something that you like, or doing something that pleases someone you like to make happy?

What's wrong with the heroine's brother? It feels like she put a bunch under his nose 🤦🏻♀️ his reaction is generally inadequate to her

It's like something happened in the past. Otherwise, if it's because of envy and a complex, then it looks strange at all

It's like something from the past is dragging... Because he treated her strangely when Marianne was at school. Maybe it has something to do with my father? It seems that the father beat Marianna's mother, according to the latter.

Yes, I already read the book after the series. The film adaptation is quite accurate and yes, the author himself does not really give a question to this answer. But most likely he's just an asshole with an inferiority complex who watched his dad beat his wife and daughter (or maybe him too)

@tevladka: Marianna says in the series that her father did not beat her. Maybe he beat his brother, and this is another reason to hate his sister for making her life easier?

In the book, the brother is an even bigger asshole. The scene in the kitchen there demonstrates this even more strongly. He spat at Marianne out of envy for her success, she didn't even say a bad word to him. It seems to me that my father's disgusting behavior is either an example of how not to behave, or as an example to follow. My brother chose the second option

That rush and touch..He finally showed his feelings in front of other people. It was very touching and tender.

Connell and Marianne's relationship is a vivid example of what a lack or lack of real communication between people leads to. It's very sad(

And I want to understand what happened at the very end, that both broke up in such emotions

@Maximgrechany: And I didn't say at all that someone was to blame :) You wrote above yourself, didn't you? (if I understood correctly), that the whole point is a misunderstanding on both sides, an inability and ignorance of how to properly articulate your feelings, solve problems together. After all, any relationship is the work of two people. I'm just an observer here and I don't choose sides) We, as viewers, see more, we can understand the motivation of both characters, but they do not share everything with each other, much remains "behind the scenes" for them.

@Maximgrechany: Hmm, I can understand why her actions can be interpreted this way. But I didn't see it. All I saw was a girl he had hurt a lot in the past, and it still lingers somewhere in the present. Plus problems from the family, and a sincere inability to understand that someone really loves her and chooses her for real. Actually, that's why she pulls away and enters into other relationships with unsuitable people, it seems to her that she is not worthy of more. And all this confidence and coldness is a mask to protect yourself. Well, that's my vision.
In general, I understand Connell's behavior and actions more, but what's the point of sitting and calculating who has more joints) Both do not tell each other, and this leads to thinking for the partner, respectively, to discord.

It breaks my heart. How hard it is sometimes to say what you really think and feel, for fear of rejection or an opinion from the outside. How many words do people leave in the shower and then suffer

Every time they are next to each other, hugging, kissing and so on, it feels like they are in their place. Such an all-consuming tenderness, trembling, as if you are being hugged and kissed by a dear loved one.
Even sex does not look like some kind of five-minute rush of passion, as in other TV series, but directly broadcasts how people enjoy each other, they like to give pleasure.
There are no pretentious poses, no one is confused by folds or anything else, because when you love, everything is beautiful in a person.
These are probably the first actors who, during scenes of intimacy, make you believe so strongly in the feelings between the characters that you get goosebumps and tears.

There's still so much self-doubt in Connell. It feels like he's going through a lot, but he doesn't share it with anyone. And above all with Marianne, although he himself told her that she was his best friend. In general, it's sad...

I'm amazed how Connell copies a part of me in every episode. Personally, I would also never personally touch/kiss my girlfriend. Here are such complexes.

These are not complexes. Rather, you are just a shy and not so tactile person. It is good if you meet a companion who does not care about this point and for whom it is not paramount. And there is a category of people who need tactile contact like air and for them it is extremely important.

behind six closed doors, Connell is very tactile, as we can see. so it's quite a stretch for a complex, if the emphasis is on the public manifestation of feelings

I haven't read the book, but I know the author. I read "Conversations with friends", which did not catch on, so I postponed reading "NL", the memories are too fresh.

At the very beginning, it seemed that Rooney had some kind of obsession with secret relationships... Anyone who read "RsD" will understand what I mean.

If I didn't like the first book, and if you believe the commentators that the film adaptation of "NL" is as close as possible to what was written, then the series is going very well for me so far.

It's a bit monotonous (it reminded me of "Scenes from married life"), but on the whole it can be quite emotional and heartfelt. Responds, in general.

The feeling that Connell is counter-dependent: as soon as he approaches a certain boundary to "serious" feelings and relationships, he is shied away in the opposite direction. It seems to me that not only the fear of publicity, but also some other deep fear that generates the fear of intimacy is hidden. It is clearly visible in the scene when Maryanne says that she would do something just to make him happy - at that moment, he apparently swayed from this expression of her codependency.
I wonder what happened to his father, why is his mother alone? If I'm not mistaken, they didn't mention him. Maybe it has something to do with it.

What's in the book, what's in the series, Marianne's family pisses me off, and it doesn't explain in any way why her brother behaves this way with her, neither here nor in the book. I can say the same about my mother. Although it is presented here a little better than in the book.

They don't quite understand why they don't openly meet here. At school, they were very young and stupid, worried about the opinions of others. But here in college is a new life hundreds of kilometers from home? Everyone blames Connell's comments, but Marianne is also not very clear to me. He told her twice that he loved her, she did not respond to it once. I called once from the prom, the second time in this series. It is not shown that they agreed to hide the relationship. Why doesn't she also take some initiative and hug him in public? Or will he not set a condition - do I want to meet openly this time, or is that it? It seems that Connell admitted a school mistake, but here everything goes according to a similar scenario.

I liked the series... however, such "brain-bearing" relationships are similar to masochism... and apart from death, it's like, and in a place no matter how...It's worth a look... the actors are beautiful and the game is on top...
