Is “My Brilliant Friend” worth watching?

One of the best shows I’ve ever seen is this one. Beginning in the early 1950s, it takes place in Naples, Italy, and follows the development of the lives of two closest friends, Lili and Elena. The plot is compelling and riveting. The characters are incredibly intriguing, real, yet subtle and nuanced – highly recommended!
