TF1 is broadcasting the last two episodes of the mini-series “A perfect mother” tonight, worn by Julie Gayet, Tomer Sisley, and Eden Ducourant (“For Sarah”). Has the press let itself be drawn into this thrilling thriller?
What is it about ?
In Berlin, the peaceful and bourgeois life of Hélène Berg is turned upside down following a phone call. His daughter, Anya, a student in Paris, is the main suspect in a murder case. Convinced of her innocence, Hélène takes the first flight to go to her daughter’s side.
On the spot, she conducts her own investigation, helped by Vincent, a French lawyer, but also her childhood sweetheart whom she had not seen for twenty years. But as they progress in their research, Hélène and Vincent discover incriminating evidence against Anya. Doubt creeps in: what if it was true, what if his daughter was guilty?
A perfect motherdirected by Fred Garson and written by Carol Noble and Thomas Boullé.

Broadcast of the last two episodes this Thursday, May 5 at 9:10 p.m. on TF1
What the press think…
According to Le Figaro:
“There are more and more French and foreign fictions committed to women. This one, Franco-German, although linked to a detective story, is undoubtedly one of the most accomplished of the season, both in its writing , point of view after point of view – each set out in a flashback at the start of the episode – and in its staging and in its interpretation.” 4/5

According to Télé Loisirs:
“The viewer shudders to the rhythm of the upheavals of an investigation much more complex than it seems and with an astonishing epilogue. And the characters are not only very well described but also particularly well drawn, like of all the members of the Berg tribe with in particular the amazing Eden Ducourant in the skin of Anya.” 4/5

“A thriller sprinkled with fast-paced family drama and full of twists and turns.” 3/5
According to Telerama:
“As an upset mother beginning to doubt her own daughter, Julie Gayet does the job. And too bad if some dialogues sound a bit false: the series can be followed with pleasure.” 3/5

“True thriller, this fiction not always very well acted and with some big tricks, is rather pleasant to watch. Without remaining in the annals.” 3/5
