My Brilliant Friend, Season Three

Just saying 😇 manly male butterflies, like dragons and many species, are typically more colourful than their female counterparts …


My Brilliant Friend, Season Three


So, I have been waiting for months for season three of HBO’s My Brilliant Friend series (based on Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels) and somehow it has snuck in

 and started without me noticing! Anyway, the s03 trailer is above, the first episode aired earlier this week & is on HBO Max now, and new episodes will follow every Monday.

If you haven’t seen the show, you should check out the first two seasons first…this show is a gem and I wish HBO was doing more to promote it.
