Poor Myskina: “Extraordinary Romantic Comedy”, “Original and Engaging”… Prime Video Series Acclaimed by the Press

Myskina is the story of 30-year-old Fara. Without an apartment, without a job, without a boyfriend, but with strong myopia. When your grandmother, mother and sister are on your ribs 24/7, it’s time to wake up and make a choice. Between her best friend, who might be the man of her life, and this new guy who’s a little more up her alley, who she falls in love with. Between saving her mother, still stuck in the past, and rebuilding her relationship with her father. Between the constant covering up of a person and finally confronting the truth. When life gets in your way, you have to take responsibility and stop being a “scumbag”.

Finally, we also remember that never before has a series delved so deeply into the Magrelian psyche, proving that families, Arab, Gallic or extraterrestrial, are all the same: psychotic and in search of love.

According to Le Parisien

A tender intergenerational mural, a quirky romantic comedy, a subtle portrayal of identity, religion or family heritage, Myskina is everything the actress with a small onion carries at once.

We laugh a lot at the mischievous, the poor, but the series also takes pride in the emotions, especially thanks to the successful dream-like sequences.

We’ve been waiting a mile for a schoolboy sitcom that’s over-the-top. And indeed, there are rare copies that don’t hit the bull’s eye. But we were also surprised by the emotion that comes from the journey of this thirty-year-old bachelor, a little desperate.

According to Telerama

It plays with society’s gaze on Islam, gently portrays intergenerational relationships, and ends with a return to roots that is half moving, half messy. A journey through the image of the series, a little dirty, not always funny, but undoubtedly original and attractive.

According to The World

That’s a lot of cliches, especially for eight episodes clocking in at just thirty minutes. Moreover, everything seemed to be shoehorned in to get to the final sequence. It’s annoyingly simple, but it has the merit of maintaining a vague suspense in Season 2. It’s bad when you see so many beautiful people in this scenario.

According to Les Inrocks

Every so often, Myskina, the poor girl touches on things – relationships with the body, sexuality, spirituality – but pretty quickly chokes the fish in a few valves that are too predictable enough to win.
