I was mostly at home this past weekend and inadvertently found the first season of My Brilliant Friend. It is an incredibly beautiful story about the true friendship between Elena and Lila. It is set in 1950’s Naples. It is by far, one of the best series I have watched on TV. If you have HBO, you will enjoy sharing the experience of this story. Directed by Saverio Costanzo. The original novel was written by Elena Ferrante and adapted for television. For now, it’s one season, 8 episodes, all in Italian. Oh my, I’ve used the subtitles but the talent in this series has touched me to my very core. It’s excellent and I hope there is a second season. Godere!
