    Behind the scenes look at the real life relationship between the two mail characters
    Captavating look at the casting for My Brilliant Friend and the real life friendship that develops between the two main characters. Behind the scenes look at the making of the series. I hope more of this will be released with the DVD. I can't wait for season 2 to come out!
