Une mère parfaite

The series builds up very good suspense and mystery build up during first two episodes of the series. During the third episode you donot know whether to believe in victim innocence or not. Donot go by very low ratings. It is definitely more than 7 and worth your time.

This series was short, only 4 episodes, by the end of the second episode, I had already figured out everything about Anya, and how it would end, nevertheless, it was easily watchable.

This story is a very interesting idea, unfortunately there are several issues. To begin with, none of the characters are likable. At the beginning you may have some sympathy for the mother but as the story progresses you start to lose it. The end is very very very disappointing and makes you wonder what was the purpose of this series. Usually you finish a show wishing the characters get the best outcome, but this time I wish they'd had it worse (except for the lawyer). The more I watched the less I liked them. I wouldn't mind hating the characters if at least they've got what they deserve, but they don't.

There are some plot twists, which is good, but you could predict them along the way. It should also have been shorter than 4 episodes, the last one was too slow and got boring some times.

This was tedious to watch. It's only four episodes long... and that's five episodes too many. By the end of the fourth episode I was fast-forrwarding to shorten the torture. The acting by the two female leads is so flat and lifeless that it might be the real crime in this series. Mother Hélène's face rarely moves much, and she spends a lot of time speaking in breathless, whispered tones. The viewer suspects that Hélène may in fact suffer from Resting B Face all the time, not just when her daughter stands accused of murder. And what police force would tolerate her messing about in an investigation like this? It feels totally unrealistic and frankly I wish they'd put her in jail too. (How do you say "entitled Karen" in French?) As for daughter Anya, she evokes no sympathy even at the outset. She made bad choices, and bad things happened to her. But that alone isn't enough to make her character or predicament intriguing to the viewer. Other characters in this slow-paced melodrama the just felt irrelevant and pointless through the entire story. Does it really matter in every episode if Lukas gets to finish his exams on time? Were various hospital scenes exploring the complications from little Farida's face transplant surgery necessary? Tangents anyone?? There were some twists and turns in here--and the ending certainly turns the tables on Anya. But by the time you get to the end, you just don't care anymore. You just want it finished.

Ok. Holds interest since you want to know ending. The mother looks confused the whole series. Her face is frozen. Tthe daughter and son are 2 whining rich kids. The ending leaves you wondering, with mom standing on the steps totally confused again. Give it a try.
