Simply Perfect

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Couldn't stop watching it. Many surprises. Loved every episode. Carole Bouquet is stunning with her charisma. The other actors are also good and credible. The rythm is great too. Nice hints to the 'silence of the lambs' without trying to be as unbearably horrible. Am surprised to see such poor reviews compare to other stupid shows which will average better although considerably less interesting.

SPOILER: To any lgbt people or allies wanting watch this...don't. It's disgusting and cheap. You get lured in only to find out that obviously because the killer is transgender and has been rejected by some guys that she wants to go on a crazed killing spree. good times. It's an old school plot twist. SURPRISE! IT'S THE GAYS!

La Mante is a thriller with enough twists to keep you guessing, and decent acting by the lead character, her son and the rest of the team. La Mante is a female serial killer who is asked to help catch her copycat who is always one step ahead.Besides some generic moments the series suffers from dumb decisions (ergo: dumb writing). For example when the police are going to the scene of a crime, without medics, while knowing there is a live victim. Another one is the lead investigator having a phone call with a doctor, while "other people" are listening.But the biggest flaw is La Mante herself. This is not the fault of the actress, who tries to make La Mante as enigmatic as possible. This is caused by superficial writing, and works in the first scenes, but after that, she (d)evolves into a character who does nothing more than deliver irritating silences, long stares, while showing as little emotion as possible. This starts to feel forced and generic after episode 2 and will continue to the end.As a series, it is decent. But as an attempt to create an enigmatic and scary serial killer, this series fails and falls flat.

It's a must-see show. The levels of tension just increase from the beginnin till the end.
