I read My Brilliant Friend on vacation in late September, and it truly was an incredible book. When I got home, I read the next two in the series, and will be reading the fourth this weekend. They are brutal, devastating stories of poverty, repression, misogyny, violence, sex, power, politics.

The show is a little muted to me, the sets a little too perfect, but it is very good tv, and worth watching, maybe even more so than if you haven't read the novels.

Just finished the season one finale :wow:

what a great show.

i cared more about these characters than anything else i've seen this year. (i loved hill house but i hated 2 or 3 of the characters)

the score was great and i had a sense of dread the last 2 eps that something bad was going to happen to these characters i love.

can't wait for season 2

I just finished it. It is the best show I’ve seen all year (and I watch a lot of tv)

9.5/10

“Lenu, you’re my brilliant friend”

I thought it was one way, but it was the other. Legit brought a tear to my eye :mjcry:
