i think the most impressive thing about the adaptation is how it's handling the implicit commentary on education and on "writing" as a medium although it's visual and thus can't do some of the same unreliable-narrator stuff in the same way ferrante could in the books

i am still very curious to see how they will handle the end of the series but they've already shown they have the chops for it. i was particularly impressed how in the beginning, when Lenù starts to write, child-Lila gets up and walks away unnoticed. child-Lila was able to come to old-Lenù in the absence, in the shock and grief and confusion, but when Lenù fires up her computer she loses her. the scene in season 3 where Lenù reads Lila her article ("her" article) publishing Lila's experience in her own kinda pompous, overwrought voice and we just get a shot of Lila's tired blank expression, that was terrific. i am #okay. i am not going insane at all.

but seriously, i do trust that when we get to the series finale i am gonna be suitably destroyed. they know what tf they're doing.
