Three women and a man, a contemporary Dublin, continuous games of tension and attraction. They are the ingredients of Conversations with Friendsan Anglo-Irish series from the BBC available on the RaiPlay platform.
The product, which marks an unprecedented foray by the Rai streaming service into the acquisition of foreign serials, tells the story of two friends, Bobbie and Frances, once linked by a love affair and now roommates.
Frances (Alison Oliver), in particular, a student of Letters at Trinity College, is the figure around which the events of the series revolve; at an evening of Poetry Slam, poetic improvisation competitions, the two friends meet the established writer Melissa; if Bobbie is attracted to this figure, Frances undertakes an exchange with her husband Nick, in a growing intellectual, emotional and physical understanding.
The seriesbased on the novel by the young Irish writer Sally Rooney and which sees the screenplay by the authors of Normal Peopleanother BBC series on the universe of young people who become adults, takes a look at the anxieties and expectations of millennials.
For those who love melo stories in which to find the hopes and weaknesses of a generation.
