Mask Girl (2023)

6/10

Mask Girl est une série intéressante sur le papier, avec une idée originale autour de l’identité, des apparences et des conséquences des choix de vie. L’ambiance est sombre et certains passages sont assez marquants visuellement, ce qui montre qu’il y a une vraie volonté de proposer quelque chose de différent des séries classiques.

Cependant, personnellement, j’ai trouvé que la série était un peu inégale. Le rythme n’est pas toujours bien maîtrisé, avec des épisodes qui peuvent sembler longs ou un peu confus. Certains personnages auraient mérité plus de développement pour rendre l’histoire plus forte et plus attachante.

Display of Social Abnormalities shown by exceptional Actresses

Warning ahead: This is no show for softies. And those who have no tolerance for a drama full of amoral siraegis, black characters. And somehow i'm questioning if i'm allowed to like this show, because it left me with a feeling of watching a pileup. Mass collision episode after episode - that i watched with open mouth in the beginning not believing what i'm actually seeing and during the end with fascination and aww for the incredible good actors and the artistic expression of abnormality and social deviances. So don't make the mistake to assume it's like Celebrity because of the title, trailer and beautiful intro and the poster, it cannot be more far away.

Mask Girl was shocking, and actually disgusting to certain scenes but on the other hand this was incredible original, creative and well executed in production - because despite the very explicit scenes it had a very captivating plot. Every actor leaves a brilliant mark - especially unrecognizable because of the the obviously incredible work of the make-up artists in a thrilling story, with 7 sub-plots in every episode that web together. If i have to describe what this fast-paced, binge-worthy drama is without spoiling much i would say it gives a vibe like a mix of Oldboy and Somebody: It is bloody with violence, abuse and sexual content. So viewer discretion advised this is +18 for multiple(!) reasons.

And still some funny scenes were just brilliant. Black comedy par excellence.
Be careful not to judge hasty finishing episode 1. The ride begins with episode 2. If you make it to episode 3 congratulations. From now on it gets easier and the true story begins.
