"Impostor": when your own mother seems a stranger

In the center of the plot is high school student Sonny Cook, who after the accident notices a strange change in the behavior of his mother Ellen. She seems to remain the same person, but something in her words, reactions and actions seems to be wrong to the guy. Sonny is convinced that the real mother was replaced by an impostor.

But there is one problem: no one takes his suspicions seriously. While the environment believes that the guy is experiencing the consequences of a traumatic event, he tries to find out what really happened to Ellen. The further his search for answers goes, the more difficult it is to distinguish reality from his own fears.

General Atmosphere

"Impostor" creates a strange feeling, as if something is invisible in the usual worldwent wrong. Outwardly, everything looks normal, but the behavior of loved ones arouses suspicion, and familiar situations acquire an alarming tinge.

The atmosphere balances between a psychological thriller, a family drama and an ironic comedy. Here, tension arises mainly because of doubts and understatement, and not because of constant dangerous events. The series leaves room for its own guesses and makes you look at the characters more closely.

Advantages of the series:

• Mysterious tie. The story of a teenager who suspects that his mother was a substitute immediately arouses curiosity and prompts a search for an explanation.

• Psychological intrigue. The viewer constantly doubts what he sees and tries to understand who can be trusted.

• An unusual combination of genres. Detective mystery, family drama and black children, perception of reality and fear of losing a loved one.

Cons:

• Unhurried development of events. Those who love dynamic detectives withconstant turns, the pace may seem slow.

• Plot ambiguity: If you expect clear answers and a logical explanation of every detail, the story may leave you with questions.

• Specific humor. Not everyone will like the combination of comedic moments with psychological tension.

Conclusion:

"Impostor" is a good choice for an evening when you want to see something mysterious, a little strange and at the same time witty. The most interesting question of the series remains without a final answer: if the nearest person suddenly seems completely alien, whom to trust — your own feelings or everyone around you?
