L'amica geniale

I´m kind of surprised that there´re so few people actually watching this show, despite how great it is. This show is the perfect adaption of Elena Ferrante´s Neapolitan Novels. Every line and every detail is showing respect to Ferrante´s original words. If you´re a female, go watch it. If you're a male, you should watch to get to know females.

I have just finished season 1 and I loved it. It absolutely has the feel and pathos of neo-realism. All the despair, rage, and violence of post-war Italy is there that Rossellini, Di Seca and Fellini brought to their work. Every aspect of the production, the sets, the casting, the particular method of acting, the direction, gives the sense that it was filmed 60-70 years ago. The difference is that it's focus is on the inner lives of women, although the men play heavily in it as well. Because I love Italian neo-realism, I was enraptured by it. Because the story is about girls and their transformation into women under oppressive and desperate circumstances, I am all in.

The perfection of this masterpiece breaks my heart. I fell in love with its every detail. From the very beginning of the story I knew this show is something special. With the sweetness of marvelous Italian it flusters your mind making you live the story with the characters And music, such a wonderful soundtrack. Just watch it, taste it.

From the first episode I was hooked. Definitely one of the best series I have ever watched.Highly recommend it to everyone. Now I am reading the 4 books.

They understood the source material. Acting and mood also impecable
