My Brilliant Friend

Is any watching this on HBO Max? Highly recommended. Enjoying it very much, three seasons to stream so far. In Italian and Neapolitan with subtitles.

Autobiography brought to film about the lives of two women and their friendship from the novels of Elena Ferrante.

upon further research they are not autobiographical, but novels, but maybe based on some of the author's experiences. The author writes under a pseudonym.
