THE MAP OF LONGING TV SERIES 
New series will stream from July 17th
Netflix has, meanwhile, issued the first trailer for their TV series adaptation of THE MAP OF LONGING based on the novel by Alice Kellen, about Greta, a young woman who has always believed that her reason for existing was to help her sister Lucy, who suffers from leukemia, through her stem cells. However, everything falls apart when Lucy dies, leaving her with a deep sense of emptiness and unsure of what to do with her life. Before passing away, Lucy leaves behind a game that pushes Greta to confront her pain and rethink who she really is. Along the way, Greta meets Will, an enigmatic boy with a troubled past. Can you love someone if you haven’t first learned to love yourself? The series arrives July 17th.

    Un intreccio di storie che trasforma le pagine in emozioni visive, tra attese, scoperte e nuovi immaginari.
    Buona settimana

    Curious contrast between the two adaptations. The Midnight Library gives off that mix of melancholy and fantasy that usually works so well in stories like this, and Florence Pugh seems a very fitting choice for the role.
    And The Map of Longing leaves a much more emotional and intense feeling. It looks like it will lean heavily into personal wounds, loss, and that search for oneself after being left broken inside.
    A strong hug and happy week.

      And plus the second one is a Spanish series, methinks :)
      Returning the hug.

    Both seem quite good. Interesting that Midnight Library is a fantasy, not crime story.

    I wanted to like Midnight Library because it was getting such rave reviews, but there was something lacking in the story that I just couldn’t put my finger on. Won’t be watching, especially with Pugh in the lead.
