After waking up from a freak car accident, a young person discovers that their mother has been replaced by someone pretending to be her. The series follows this unsettling discovery and the uncertainty it creates.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like eerie family mysteries built around a strange discovery; Not for you if you prefer lighthearted stories or plots without suspense.
