Some reviewers, such as "The French are funny!", seem to be reviewing something else, not the french series "Mythomaniac". Elvira doesn't have cancer, neither she has an infant, her children are still in a high school. Not sure what that person was watching and reviewing. Also not sure why many are fixated on Anne Frank.
The youngest child Virginie, brilliantly played by Zelie Rixhon, is not obcessed with Anne Frank. She is a victim of the modern day "too much negative information" that hits children from all sources of mass information: internet, TV, social networks, etc. She is Anna Chlumsky (My Girl, 1991) of 21st century and suffers from anxiety.
2 older children, Carole, played by Marie Drion and Sam, Jérémy Gillet are still in high school, have their own, "modern day" problems. Both are exceptionally good actors.
Elvira, a mentally worn-out, but still beautiful mother, inadvertently, got herself into a mess which dramatically changed the dynamics of her household. Her cheating partner, the father of her kids, have found no other options as to further destroy his kids sense of wellbeing by revealing the "truth". Meantime his own lies remain unknown to his children. Brigitte, the father's lover, plays crucial role in the disfunction of this family and is plotting more destruction under pretense of "helping". The mother is in the corner and there is no easy way out. After years of being taken for granted, indifference from her family, she experiences short period of "love", care and affection which then were replaced by hatred. Meantime her lying and cheating partner remains a "good" parent for his children. A new character comes into play in the last episode. Looking forward to season 2.
