'My Brilliant Friend': What's the plan? Lenu and Lila reject their unsuitable suitors in Episode 7

Following the episode of shame, Lila and Lenu are about to take their sweet revenge on the other kind who have always suppressed them.
PUBLISHED DEC 6, 2018

HBO's adaptation of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan series has been renewed for a second season, that will probably take up from the time Lila and Lenu will be engaged. Starring Margherita Mazzucco (as Elena/Lenu) and Gaia Girace (as Raffaella/Lila), the Saverio Costanzo-created show is set against the dangerous but fascinating Naples, Italy, in the 1950s. The show follows the plight of two young girls whose friendship is put to test not just by the feud in the neighborhood between the rich and the poor, but by also how the brilliance of one friend is perceived as a threat to the intellect by the other friend.
