My Brilliant Friend, Monday, Sky Atlantic

Based on Elena Ferrante’s bestsellin­g book of the same name, this lush Italian mini-series is set in Naples and follows the lives of two girls over six decades of friendship. After receiving a phone call, Elena Greco discovers the most important and significan­t figure in her life, Raffaella “Lila” Cerullo, has gone missing. Knowing this disappeara­nce has been a long time coming, Elena, now a writer, finally sits down to put the story of their intertwini­ng lives on paper, starting from the 1950s, when the two first met at school, in an attempt to describe the mystery of Lila – her brilliant friend, and in a way, worst enemy.
