"Conflicting Girls": Mia Landsman is Excellent, The Series Less | Israel today

2021-10-25T05:43:38.445Z


The new series on HOT, between its creators Talia Lavie ("Zero in Human Relations"), was supposed to be the voice of the generation, but in practice it disappoints • At least Landsman in the lead role continues to be the most refreshing thing on TV


From role to role Mia Landsman is developing into the most refreshing thing on Israeli television.

Marching forward without gimmicks, with mesmerizing charisma and enviable nonchalance.

Her resume included hits like "My Successful Sisters," "First Box Office," "Rehearsals" and "Headquarters," and though in some she did a small role, she always stole the show.

Landsman is talented at levels, and with added value that others do not have.

First, she is a woman and that is an advantage in the contemporary TV series market.

She does not attach significance to her body weight, he is not personal to the characters she plays or the bare dress she wore to the Cannes Film Festival.

She distances herself from the institutionalized media, does not shy away from exposing her non-mainstream views, and although she has become entangled in the jaws of the "culture of cancellation," she remains loved and appreciated mostly by young men and women.

Thus, Landsman stands for the right slot to win a leading and groundbreaking role that will crown her the "Voice of the Generation."

It's easy to imagine her as an Israeli version of Lena Dunham (who led the series "Girls" and was the voice of the millennial generation), or what Phoebe Waller-Bridge ("Flibge") and Michaela Cole ("Destroy You") were for the generation of singers.

That is, to be one who does art, and on the way shatters glass ceilings and a path embankment for whoever follows in her footsteps.

Fate ran out and it fell to Landsman for such a lead role in a series of girls that felt like "the voice of a generation."

In the first four episodes, however, sent for viewing, it does not rise to such places, and may be disappointed.

"Conflicting Girls," the series by Talia Lavie, a song by Reuven and Rebecca Allenby, depicts two roommates whose contrasting character serves primarily as a plot promoter.

Landsman plays one of them - a lesbian who is not interested in sexual preferences or appearance, her parents are a cartoon of parents, and she has thoughts of growing up and independence.

So far standard, but "conflicting girls" fall between the generations.

The characters are 24-year-old singers, but behave and talk like millennials.

If there are series that are ahead of their time, "Girlhood" seems to be too late.

It may sound petty, but it is impossible to be the voice of a generation when it is not clear which generation it is.
