A writer, immersed in a house full of books, Greco turns on her computer and starts writing the story of their tempestuous friendship, starting from the point when Elena met Lila their first year of primary school in 1950.Set in a dangerous and fascinating Naples, their story goes on to cover more than 60 years of their lives as she tries to describe the mystery of Lila, Elena's brilliant friend and — in a way — her best friend, and worst enemy.

Excellent execution. Been so waiting for this. It’s like a metaphor, an allegory for things I can relate to. Thanks uploaders!
When is this back? I have loved it. The adaptation has kept so faithful, authentic and unspoiled. The books the show is based on are revered by many and so popular. To take liberties with the books narrative would be a crime! This adaptation so far has religiously stuck to the authors words/artful expression.
I do not normally watch TV but this was wonderful (the books are amazing)
Many adaptations or retellings are so messed about with for diversity sakes or woke policies. Changing gender, race , language or complete reworking altogether and changing the narrative. It never works.
Literature or art that is loved and considered great are revered because of how the original artist constructed their opus. rewriting/changing is insulting and I see it more and more. This however is as respectful and as close as possible to the books. Maybe because its Italian? If it was USA or UK it would have altered the narrative, changed the gender of characters, added different races, even though set at a time when places were more homogenous. There would be some way that they could slip in some sort of political propaganda or societal message under the guise of something more prosaic. However, its incontrovertibly tedious and quotidian now within the media realm that its ruined TV for me. This was a breath of fresh air. Worth a watch if you want authentic, unadulterated viewing from a much adored book series and celebrated author. More Please!!
I agree! Great show and let me wanting much more.
February 28th in America but it’s airing in Italy now though you may have to watch it in Italian without subtitles for now
I can’t find a stream with subtitles in this first episode of the third season :(
they are here… open any version onsite window under the version number and click on subtitles button found under the window that opens
Has anyone seen any sign of the rest of the episodes? Or are they being dropped weekly from the 28th of Feb? Cheers :)
confused too, want more
The IMDb page for this series states that Season 3 starts on 3/28 on HBO Max.
ah Makes sense now i remember the 28 part and thought it was starting on 2/28.
LOL!
There was a delay but 1,2 & 3 came online last week on Divicast site
Thanks for letting me know! Well as you can see both this site & another had it listed as starting on Mon 10th. However, I’ve checked IMDB & you’re correct it’s Mar 16th. Cheers!
