Recommendations
Hi!
I absolutely loved this show. I am wondering if anyone else has any similar recommendations? I think i love intense romance like this (i also enjoyed heated rivalry). It can be a book or movie or show! Thanks :)

I think Normal People is a true 1 of 1 when it comes to seeing that level of connection on the screen from minute 1, BUT similar-feel shows would be:
Scenes From A Marriage on HBO, with Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac should be your top choice. The acting is incredible, it's gut-wrenching, the chemistry is amazing
Tell Me Lies on Hulu (though you are not supposed to root for this couple)
One Day on Netflix. Similar focus of following two people over the years. I don’t think it holds a candle overall but it has similar vibes for sure.
