The most powerful and stunning TV Show. This is without a doubt the best produced HBO series.

Visually stunning, emotionally subtle but devastating. This is a kind of sensibility in writing young, female characters that I have never found before.

The fact that a lot of men don't watch it BECAUSE OF THIS, because it's a story "for women" -- clearly a deficiency for them!-- is a **** PLUS.… Expand

Temporada 2 / Season 2

Abstract Español
La temporada 2 de Mi amiga brillante (basada en Un mal nombre, segunda novela de la tetralogía de Elena Ferrante) continúa con los encuentros y desencuentros de ls amigas Lenu y Lila.
La serie conserva toda su potencia emotiva e incluso la redobla, envolviéndonos con su increíble reconstrucción de época. Desde ya que ciertos tópicos aparecen en otras ficciones, pero siempre el abordaje de los directores Saverio Costanzo y Alice Rohrwacher (y claro, de Ferrante) y el maravilloso desempeño de su elenco (encabezado por Margherita Mazzucco y Gaia Girace, dos auténticas adolescentes nacidas en 2004 y con una asombrosa madurez interpretativa) los dotan de una profundidad, una intensidad y una sobriedad absolutamente originales.

English Abstract Season 2 of My Brilliant Friend (based on A Bad Name, the second novel in Elena Ferrante's tetralogy) continues with the encounters and misunderstandings of the friends Lenu and Lila.

The series retains all its emotional power and even doubles it, enveloping us with its incredible period reconstruction. Of course, certain topics appear in other fictions, but always the approach of the directors Saverio Costanzo and Alice Rohrwacher (and of course, Ferrante) and the wonderful performance of their cast (led by Margherita Mazzucco and Gaia Girace, two authentic teenagers born in 2004 and with an astonishing interpretive maturity) endow them with an absolutely original depth, intensity and sobriety.

Reseña Español
Contiene referencias a la Temporada 1
La temporada 2 de Mi amiga brillante (basada en Un mal nombre, segunda novela de la tetralogía de Elena Ferrante) continúa con los encuentros y desencuentros de ls amigas Lenu y Lila, la primera con su paciente y tenaz camino de formación académica y la pasional y emprendedora Lila inmersa en la trampa familiar de su matrimonio con Stefano, agente de una engañosa prosperidad y la de ese barrio en el que siempre vivió. En ambos casos, omnipresente la matriz patriarcal que busca desalentar elegantemente a la primera y someter a la segunda con una violencia cotidianizada.
No está ausente la rivalidad amorosa entre ambas con el marco de la paradisiaca Ischia, en escenas de gran belleza y sugestión (dirigidas por Alice Rohrwacher y que nos hace comprender el carácter burgués de eso que llamamos adolescencia, un territorio a conquistar por mujeres que pasan de la niñez a la adultez sin escalas) y la irrupción de la inquieta escena política italiana de los 60s.
La serie conserva toda su potencia emotiva e incluso la redobla, envolviéndonos con su increíble reconstrucción de época. Desde ya que ciertos tópicos aparecen en otras ficciones, pero siempre el abordaje de los directores Saverio Costanzo y Alice Rohrwacher (y claro, de Ferrante) y el maravilloso desempeño de su elenco (encabezado por Margherita Mazzucco y Gaia Girace, dos auténticas adolescentes nacidas en 2004 y con una asombrosa madurez interpretativa) los dotan de una profundidad y una sobriedad absolutamente originales.

English Review

Contains references to Season 1

Season 2 of My Brilliant Friend (based on A Bad Name, the second novel of Elena Ferrante's tetralogy) continues with the encounters and misunderstandings of the friends Lenu and Lila, the first with her patient and tenacious path of academic training and passion. and enterprising Lila immersed in the family trap of her marriage to Stefano, agent of a deceptive prosperity and that of the suburb in which she always lived. In both cases, omnipresent the patriarchal matrix that seeks to elegantly discourage the first and subdue the second with daily violence.
The love rivalry between the two erupts within the framework of the paradisiacal Ischia, in scenes of great beauty and suggestion (directed by Alice Rohrwacher and that makes us understand the bourgeois character of what we call adolescence, a territory to be conquered by women who pass from the childhood to adulthood nonstop). The Italian political scene of the 60s and the differences between northern and southern Italy are present and evident.
The series retains all its emotional power and even doubles it, enveloping us with its incredible period reconstruction. Of course, certain topics appear in other fictions, but always the approach of the directors Saverio Costanzo and Alice Rohrwacher (and of course, Ferrante) and the wonderful performance of their cast (led by Margherita Mazzucco and Gaia Girace, two authentic teenagers born in 2004 and with an astonishing interpretive maturity) give them an absolutely original depth and sobriety.
