This series is an absolute gem. Beautifully photographed, directed and scripted- along with a remarkable cast. All of the actors are superb- especially the young actresses who portray Elena and Lila; as children and as young women. Here's hoping next season is as good as this one was.
I couldn't agree more. I've now finished season 3. And I mean they learn English in Italy as far as I know. But if they don't then at least subtitle interviews. I want to know what they're saying. Sure I could try learning Italian but learning a new language takes years and years.
I somewhat got my wish last night thanks to HBO. I watched “ My True Brilliant Friend “ after the finale and it was wonderful ! It showed most of the cast while filming the show but mostly focused on the the two main characters. It was a real treat watching them in their true lives, at home, attending school, or just hanging out with friends. It also showed how much work goes into doing a show like this. The dedication from the director, cast, and crew was visible throughout the documentary. I’m glad HBO chose to give us that little bonus. It’s definitely a “must see” if you like the show.
I very much enjoyed HBO's My True Brilliant Friend. It was heartening to see Margherita and Gaia as happy teenagers with loving families. Especially, I liked watching Margherita and Gaia in Hollywood and receiving an ovation at the Venice Film Festival. The cast deserves accolades for their great work in season 1. Hope HBO documents behind the scenes of season 2, as well.
This is the only thing I watch on hbo max yes over and over. Also listening to books on audible. Thank you for giving us this Brillant( no pun intended) script and visual of the stories. And of course the acting is superbly perfection.
He did a wonderful job. The sets are true to their nature for the time this series is set on. I am very sure this series is going to win tons of awards and one of them will be for production design too. My respect to your nephew for this brilliant tv series!
cold show its very natural and real after living in Rome I could very easily relate great pizza and home cooked meals very beautiful views and beautiful fisty women
I agree. I live in Scotland, in an impoverished area, we call them housing schemes, everyone is skint but there’s a great community spirit. To me, the suburbs is where the middle class live, the limbo between poor & rich!

I’m obsessed with the series - just wonderful all around - a wonderful piece of art. Magnifico!
I love the series so different and unique
I wish HBO would bring the actors to the States to do interviews or subtitle the ones that are out there. I really want to know more about them all.
Did you watch the making of documentary? It's pretty informative.

I think I watched it three times already. I am obsessed with this show, and the actors.
It's crazy how much younger the girls (especially Gaia) look in real life compared to on the show.
VictorySalsa I agree, especially Gaia. She looks so fragile and still has a childish side. Her character onscreen is the total opposite, I love it.
The young actress who plays Lila has uncanny similiarities just as the adult Lila....excellent casting!
Love the show , definitely a favorite . Can’t wait for Season 2

Such an amazing story brought to tv in such an amazing way!
Absolutely captivating. Simply beautiful the book and the series. It makes Hollywood made stuff look miniscule and superficial.
Love this show....casting is magnifico!🥰
I loved every second of it❤️Well done ❤️
My nephew is a production designer of this movie Dino Balzano❤️❤️
He did a wonderful job. The sets are true to their nature for the time this series is set on. I am very sure this series is going to win tons of awards and one of them will be for production design too. My respect to your nephew for this brilliant tv series!
He did an amazing work. I'm half italian and I can tell that it's look realistic for an italian
Very good job and handsome too dino :)
Grazie mille dino, for creating a beautiful set, so I can see just a little bit of my own ancestor's time period. ❤️
WHAT KIND OF MONSTER LEFT A DISLIKE???
don achille
Don Achille is that one dislike lmao
O Tom - Looks though the two Solara brothers and Stefano also disliked. Now it’s at 4 👎🏼.
tori2dles: and by now already 2!! Probably Fernando and Nino ... (especially Nino... he is always sooo negative...) ☹️😖
Please create the remaining seasons soon!
Love this show..my daughter & I are hooked. Off now for about 2 months...still talk about it. When will Season 2 be on?
The season 2 back next year they work on it don't worriie! ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Quando voltará a.Serie????
So, did they actually build the houses of this neighborhood for the film? Or did they use some existing houses?
Im from arizona:) my fav is dino :) all the actors:) very good series please tell me what happen to lila :)
cold show its very natural and real after living in Rome I could very easily relate great pizza and home cooked meals very beautiful views and beautiful fisty women
by the way I think they like each other romantically
I think calling it the suburbs is incorrect, it's more like the outskirts.
CJS929: you are right!! 🤓😌

the best drama forever ❤️🇱🇾🌈🌟
I love the series please do season 2 . i have to see what happen to Lila :)💝
They will start filming in March, season 2 is coming end of 2019
You can read the books
10/02!!
When will season 2 start ?
it started last week ;)
I’m just kinda sad neither of the two has made it big in life again. Lila should be a major trade union leader imho.
Hi
Thumbnail is a Jewish democrat about to make ' her point'
Her point being a TV show I guess
no way little pussy, it's a dumb communist democrat
Welp, we found who left the one ‘dislike’
