MY BRILLIANT FRIEND follows Elena Greco and the most important friend in her life, Raffaella Cerullo, whom she has always called Lila. They met in the first year of primary school in 1950 and their story goes on to cover more than 60 years of their lives and explores the mystery of Lila, Elena's brilliant friend and - in a way - both her best friend and her worst enemy.

They now navigate a scenario of hopes and uncertainties, still united by their strong and ambivalent bond.
Season 2 of MY BRILLIANT FRIEND received rave reviews, with Vanity Fair calling it "immersive," "addictive," as well as "serious, novelistic art, and verified prestige television." Rolling Stone deemed it "masterful," "gorgeous and gripping," while IndieWire observed, "it's hard to think of a more striking show on television."
