Tired of getting stupid every night in front of Netflix series ? Train your brain with an equally addicting thriller like The Sinner , You or Unbelievable . A manipulative psychiatrist, a young woman with terrible secrets and an unfaithful husband… So many ingredients that the authors Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen use in Guaranteed Anonymity for a high level result.
An original and well-crafted pitch
If Jessica, makeup artist for individuals, seizes the opportunity to participate in a psychological test, it is first of all for the generous compensation offered to her. But over the more and more intrusive questions ( Have you ever done a lot of harm to a loved one? Would you be able to lie without feeling guilty? ), The young woman develops an increasingly justified paranoia. When she meets the endearing Dr. Shields , the psychiatrist behind this test, her worries are silent. Jessica tells him her heaviest family secrets… until she regrets it bitterly.
The ingredients of an addictive series
What better than a diabolical and sublime psychiatrist to fuel the pitch of a hellish thriller? Nothing, especially since Dr. Shields looks like two drops of water physically like Nicole Kidman from Eyes wide shut : how this slender, delicate and apparently irreproachable woman will know how to handle an innocent young woman to the to plunge into a terrible descent into hell? Twists galore, unbearable suspense, multi-faceted characters, adultery, dubious and toxic psychiatry… What else?
Verdict
After the success of One Woman of Us , the American writers (yes yes, two women), continue to impress with this haunting and brilliantly constructed thriller… Sleepless nights to be expected, pending, perhaps, the adaptation serial !
