What has Daisy Edgar-Jones said about the show Normal People?

It is clear that Edgar-Jones loves Normal People. The famous actress recently did an interview sharing some of her thoughts on the new show. Her candid nature and charming personality came across in all of her responses. 

Edgar-Jones praised the show for many reasons, and she definitely thinks the show is doing many things right, to say the least.
