We are legend: Nicola’s suffering and the final twist

More We are legend continues and the happier we are to witness a plot which, despite the many open parentheses, manages not to get lost in its unraveling by continuing to tell the microcosm of a neighborhood on the outskirts of Rome using the teenagers and their internal disagreements. The powers, and we have underlined this several times, are just a pretext: what matters are the relations and, in particular, the friendships that help the protagonists understand that they are not alone when they raise their heads and try to face the world. As the episodes of the series continue kids become stronger and more awarei, eager to make amends for the mistakes they have previously committed. On the one hand we therefore have Massimo (Emanuele Di Stefano) who, after seeing his aunt Anita (Claudia Pandolfi) as an enemy, finally shows himself ready to help her, both in the care of her gambling addiction than in looking for a job after the sexual compromises she was forced to give in to keep her job and get the money needed to deal with her habit.

The character of Massimo is perhaps the one in We are legend has grown more, not counting Greta (Sofya Gershevich), who has finally decided to no longer opt for rewinding time by admitting to Jean (Nicolas Maupas) his relationship with Andrea (Milo Roussel), and Lin Giulia Lin), who has always seen the transformation into someone else as the means to be able to please others. To end up in the middle of this power that we are certain a good number of teenagers would like to have is Nicholas, the boy played brilliantly by James George that he actually fell in love with a girl who did nothing but lie to him about her true identity. When Lin realizes that she has pushed too hard with him, she wisely decides to end it, even though seeing a good boy like Nicola cry in front of his smartphone, destroyed at the thought of having been disappointed once again, hurts the heart.

While the fate of the factory workers does not improve, to the point that Lara (Valentina Romani) is finally connecting the dots, not to mention that Sabrina (Antonia Liskova) is also developing the disease, the ninth and tenth episodes of We are legend, the fiction co-produced by Rai Fiction And Fabula Pictures which is gradually conquering the ranking of the most viewed contents on RaiPlay and Prime Video, reserve well two twists: Sara’s suicide attempt (Beatrice Vendramin) after failing to recover Nicola and, above all, the attack and murder of Giuseppe Liberati (Gaetano Bruno) just at the moment in which he managed to reunite with his son Jean. It is a highly emotional scene that sees the reconciliation of a father and son threatened forever by the crooked shadow of death. We still don’t know what turn this trauma will take – just as we still don’t know what role it will play Linen Pillow -, but the fact is that We are legend is putting all the right ingredients on the counter to create a guilty pleasure.
