Mythomaniac (2019–2021)
2/10
horrible everything

The story is very unbelievable and inaccurate. First off, when someone actually has a tumor and it isn't yet clear if it's benign or not, you don't speak of cancer. I feel everyone does know this? Or at least should.

Secondly the way they - unlike a series like Euphoria - still use a non trans person to depict a trans character is disgusting.

The sound design is complete rubbish too. The crickets are too overdone and often completely out of sync when a door opens or closes, which is not how it sound works. Especially since often the sound stops before a door is closed.

The dialogues are very shallow and staged, like a pre schooler playing with barbies. It lacks realness, believability and maturity.

Acting isn't great either.

Honestly I have no clue what would be good about this series. Too many characters, with too little dept.

Insane to think I'm now 6 episodes in and it still has not touched anything, compared to a show like After Life, where in little time you feel for more than one character so deeply you have to laugh and cry soon and throughout. Whereas here you're constantly reminded you're listening too crappy dialogues, poorly acting out a very unbelievable and somehow shallow storyline.
