Normal People

I’ve been watching Normal People with my ex boyfriend. We live in different countries, so all the watching is individual followed by emails that may arrive in the recipient’s inbox at 3 am their time. It’s the perfect show to watch alone together: the soundtrack would be ruined by anyone else’s live commentary and aspects of the plot mimic our on-off relationship before I moved away and met someone better. We don’t have in-depth discussions, an email might be a single sentence. I realize in writing this that I’m just so bored and lonely that this passes as entertainment. I used to be an interesting person and now I’m not. I don’t care about the ex, who treated me badly while we were together, and wouldn’t mind if he never emailed me again, but for now, all I’ve got is Normal People.
