Also, these characters don’t dabble in socialism. They are affiliated with the Italian Communist Party and embedded in the story is the critique of PCI’s turn away from traditional class struggle toward democratic socialism and electoralism.
It drives me absolutely bonkers that this series is billed as a tale about female friendship. Yes, there is a friendship at the heart of the story but this is a book about political economy, the intersection of class and gender, the role of violence in resisting violent oppression, communitarianism in the face of… Read more
They are *so* young. You should see the documentary that shows how they were originally cast and then the filming of the first season. I think it's called My True Brilliant Friend.

I’ve been supportive of Nancy, and tried to hold off on judgement considering all that she did and has done in her career.
