A third viewer commented:"So…1.5 eps into #ConversationsWithFriends and it's feeling like Normal People was a lightning in a bottle-type deal," while another tweeted:"Is it just me or is #ConversationswithFriends lacking the emotional intensity of Normal People and don't get me started on Joe Alwyn's Irish accent!"However, not all viewers were left disappointed by the new show, with many taking to Twitter to praise the drama.
A third fan preferred the new series to the 2020 drama, tweeting:"Update: we watched the first four episodes and loved it ," while another praised the casting:"Every character is cast so perfectly.
