The director of Normal People, Lenny Abrahamson, has revealed a brilliant bit of fan mail he received about the show.
It may seem like years ago, but the hit show only finished up in April of 2020 after widespread success.
It garnered BAFTA's and IFTA's aplenty for the likes of Paul Mescal, Daisy Edgar-Jones and the director himself.
Lenny took to Twitter on Wednesday morning, saying "cap doff to whoever took the time to write and send this."
The note itself has to be seen to be believed, because it is utterly brilliant.
"I am quite open-minded and watched with interest your excellent television series Normal People. It was so refreshing to see congress between two young people painted as loving and considerate, rather than just watching teenage girls ripping off their clothes and parading themselves naked in front of the camera."
Heaping more praise onto the series, the woman then notes that she found it to be almost perfect except for one key detail.
"What did our great champion of women, Nell McCafferty risk her freedom for? What with all these sexually transmitted diseases flying around, I felt it was an oversight not to use at least Clingfilm! And indeed, I would be very concerned for the young girls I used to teach biology not learning about safe sex.
"While I felt the romantic scenes were well filmed, I wonder if they were a little too explicit, but perhaps I am no judge of these matters. After all, nobody produced a pound of butter."
Now, we're sure that the mail is 100% serious, and definitely not a prank, but still.
The Irish romantic saga, which stars breakout actors Mescal and Edgar-Jones, was the most requested series from January to November in 2020 for the BBC.
The drama was streamed more than 62 million times by audiences, proving to be a successful co-production between BBC Three and US streaming service Hulu.
Over here, it aired on RTE with 495,000 people flocking to their TVs for the steamy scenes.
However, the show topped the polls for the RTE Player, with 818,000 streams for the top episode out of a total of five million streams of the series.
