One of the most striking aspects of Ferrante's writing in the Neapolitan Quartet is that Lenù's perspective is so intense it overwhelms the narrative, creating a deep empathic connection.
Reading the books, we understand Lenù's obsession with Nino; however, watching their affair unfold on TV exposes the painful reality of her self-involvement more starkly.
Watching Lenù's obsession play out visually, with her children in the background, adds a frustrating dimension, making viewers want to intervene in her spiraling turmoil.
The new season presents Lenù's self-centeredness more clearly, contrasting her emotional turmoil with the distractions and realities faced by those around her, notably her children.
