What happens

Normali (Hebrew: נורמלי) is an Israeli television drama series created by Leore Dayan and Asaf Korman. It stars Roy Nik as the protagonist Noam Ashkenazi, a stressed young columnist with an unhealthy reliance on ritalin to achieve his deadlines. Rami Heuberger stars as Udi, Noam's father and Liron Ben-Shlush plays Noam's psychiatrist, Dr. Zarowski. It premiered on HOT on 4 November 2020. The series is inspired by Dayan's real-life short stay at a psychiatric hospital and his own illustrious family. He is the son of the film director, Assi Dayan and grandson of Moshe Dayan. Caroline Langford, Assi's ex-wife and Leore's mother, plays Noam's mother in the series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
