As the Solaras invite Lila to continue her potentially futile war against them, Imma becomes increasingly closed off as she realizes her life is unlike her biological or play cousin.
As the final season of “My Brilliant Friend” continues to limp to the finish line, it seems the most frustrating part about this season might finally be over.
As Immacolata reaches what could be her final moments, Elena stumbles upon a secret that changes her life’s trajectory.
As Lila gives birth, a possible tragedy strikes at the worst time as her body tries to regulate the rush of hormones she is feeling.
Lila has the rare episode where things revolve around her and while it makes you dread things refocusing on Elena, it reminds you who the brilliant friend is.
In a episode focused on Elena’s mounting misery, it will make you long for Lila as you may have in previous seasons.
“My Brilliant Friend” returns for its final season, and despite a time jump, new faces, and how long it has been since the last season, it’s easy to slip right back in.
As a young woman finds her life spiraling, she latches onto her estranged aunt, who might be the person she needs to navigate the next chapter of her life.
As Elena closes a major chapter in her life, we’re introduced to the next actress who will play her in Elena’s next chapter.
In an almost complete Lila-less episode, Nino returns to Elena’s life, and between old feelings and him supporting her writing, it complicates Elena’s marriage to Pietro.
As Elena returns to Naples and is coerced to fully be involved in what’s going on, Pietro gives the kind of observations that disturb her perceptions of everyone – including Lila.
As political violence starts to engulf Naples and surrounding areas, Elena is asked to keep her godson for the summer, with very little context as to why.
We jump through at least 2 or so years as Elena gets married and has her first two children while struggling immensely in her personal and professional life.
With feeling like she’d be better as a big fish in a small pond, Lila makes it her goal to return to the neighborhood, and Elena lays the groundwork for that to happen.
In “The Fever,” we catch up with Lila, whose life continues a downward spiral as one of her demons catches up to her.
In its long-awaited return, My Brilliant Friend focuses on Elena, Lila’s name haunts every conversation and accomplishment.
It’s 1967, and what Elena has long wanted has come to her. However, thoughts of Lila always lurk, and Elena once more is drawn to them and her.
With a time jump of three years, we learn whether Elena’s time away from the neighborhood changed her or confirmed what she already knew.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
