YMMV / The Amelia Project

Go To

  • Magnificent Bastard:
    • Amelia is the brash, yet affable leader of the titular death faking organization. Under her leadership, the Amelia Project has successfully faked countless deaths, sometimes recruiting clients to become valuable allies, including the brilliant Alvina. When the Interviewer gets kidnapped by the Russians, Amelia and Alvina make plans to move to his location to avoid MI5. When a Serial Killer forces her to fake his death, Amelia tricks him into killing himself, even sacrificing her beloved grandmother’s necklace to maintain the deception. Amelia is then forced to aid Panaraguan freedom fighter Pablo Perez Garcia in overthrowing the tyrannical President Julio, effortlessly outwitting and defeating rival death faker Mateo when he interferes. Arrested by Miguel, Garcia's idiot assistant-turned-Panaraguan President, Amelia organizes a plan to swap the lazy Miguel with Garcia, ensuring Panaragua has a good leader before reuniting with the Interviewer and relocating the Amelia Project to Paris.
    • Tara and Lily are a pair of friendly thieves who commit burglaries in accordance with "The Looter's Law" which entails them only doing impossibly difficult and unique crimes in order to avoid being cliche criminals. Having pulled off various miraculous robberies in the past, their masterpiece was the Washington Zürich Heist where they stole millions from a bank in America and another in Switzerland, and then broke back into both banks and placed the money from the other bank inside their vaults. After this, the pair broke into Buckingham Palace to steal The Queen's toothbrush but were photographed on the way out. They were then captured by MI5 and agreed to gather information on the Amelia Project in exchange for their freedom, and successfully posed as clients of Amelia and broke into a safe right under the Interviewer's nose and successfully traded its contents for their freedom.
  • Tear Jerker:
    • Alexandra Demopoulos' story is much more somber than many of the other people featured in the show. Her status as a Living Lie Detector isolated her from her family (it's implied that she found out that she was The Unfavorite) and it eventually pushed away the woman she loved.
    • The Season 4 Finale The Interviewer tells Alvina that he's Secretly Dying without Kozlowski to help him, he tells her that he had his death predicted and it matches what is happening right then. When he agrees to tell Alvina his story, he solemnly looks at his own gravestone and the two sing the same song they sang at the beginning of the season.
