What do I need to know about Conversations With Friends?

Although it does seem odd that Normal People was released to television before Conversations With Friends, one should that this is a completely new story with a different tone and cast of characters.

Without revealing too many details of the plot, Conversations With Friends tells the story of the complicated relationships between four people. The novel’s narrator is Frances, a 21 year old college student and aspiring writer who has a long standing friendship and on-and-off romance with her school friend Bobbi. Their lives are complicated after they meet an older couple (Melissa and Nick) and a love quadrangle forms.

Now, we don’t want to make you too excited for the adaption of Conversations With Friends, but it’s hard not to considering the information that we do know. Naturally, one might be worried that this adaption of Sally Rooney’s debut novel might not live up to the standards set by Normal People.

Who is in the cast of Conversations With Friends?

The Ocar-nominated Lenny Abrahamson is back behind the camera while Alice Birch, who was responsible for writing much of Normal People, is returning to write several of the episodes. Safe to say that Conversations With Friends is in good hands.

One aspect of the production that remained a mystery for a long time was in regards to the cast. After plenty of speculation of who will take the roles of the main characters in the media and online forums, we can finally tell you who is playing who. The cast of Conversations With Friends is as follows:

• Alison Oliver as "Frances"
• Joe Alwyn as "Nick"
• Sasha Lane as "Bobbi"
• Jemima Kirke as "Melissa"

One of the most popular ways to watch British TV shows when overseas is by using a VPN. This tool will mask a user's location and make it appear as if their device is located within the United Kingdom. Once a VPN has been purchased and downloaded,  it is sometimes possible to access British TV channels such as the BBC iPlayer on demand service.

VPNs have their pros and cons. On the positive side is privacy, anonymity and security. The negatives include a sometimes slower internet connection, the need to usually download software and the overall reliability of some providers.

There are some free proxy servers (which act in a similar way to VPNs) but bandwidth is sometimes limited - that's no good if you want to binge watch Conversations With Friends.
