The Queen’s Gambit

Netflix gave us many amazing new shows that found enormous success in 2020, but it doesn’t get any better than this epic tale of a young chess prodigy who tries to become the most formidable player in the world.

Normal People               

This Irish drama is one of the most realistic depictions of modern romance in recent memory, and that’s exactly the reason why so many people tuned in to watch Marianne and Connell fall in and out of love.

Mrs. America

This historical drama about Phyllis Schlafly’s fight against the Equal Rights Amendment movement during the 1970s had one of the most star-studded casts of 2020, and that alone makes it worth the watch.

Unorthodox

Based on Deborah Feldman’s autobiography, Netflix’s first series in Yiddish tracks the journey of a young ultra-Orthodox Jewish woman who decides to flee her arranged marriage and start a new life in Germany.

Little Fires Everywhere

At a time when we all needed an addictive new show to be excited about, this intertwined tale of two families set in the opulent neighborhood of Shaker Heights gave us just that.

Abrahamson recently discussed Normal People with Deadline alongside the show’s stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal. He said there weren’t any concrete discussions about the future of the show, but he wouldn’t mind revisiting this story a few years down the road.

“The book stops where it stops because it feels right. But, I have a sneaking thing in the back of my head that if everybody was willing, and if the stars aligned, I’d love to revisit them in five years and find out what happened, where they are,” explained the Oscar-nominated filmmaker.

We won’t be getting a new season of Normal People anytime soon, but Abrahamson is already on its spiritual successor. He’s set to direct Hulu’s new series Conversations with Friends, based on the novel by Sally Rooney, who also wrote Normal People.

The series is based on the celebrated second novel by the 29-year-old Irish author of the same name. The series stars Daisy Edgar-Jones as Marianne and Paul Mescal as Connell, two high schoolers lovers whose relationship becomes much more fractured and complicated as the years go on and the two head off to college.

Here’s the official synopsis from the streamer: “Normal People tracks the tender but complicated relationship of Marianne and Connell from the end of their school days in a small-town west of Ireland to their undergraduate years at Trinity College. At school, he’s well-liked and popular, while she’s lonely, proud and intimidating. But when Connell comes to pick up his mother from her cleaning job at Marianne’s house, a strange and indelible connection grows between the two teenagers — one they are determined to conceal. A year later, they’re both studying in Dublin and Marianne has found her feet in a new social world but Connell hangs at the side lines, shy and uncertain. Honest, smart and intoxicating, Normal People sees the pair weave in and out of each other’s lives and explores just how complicated intimacy and young love can be.”
