INVENTING ANNA – Who is Anna, you ask? Nobody knows, and everybody knows, depending on what she wants you to know. This chick bilked friends out of thousands of dollars, defrauded or attempted to defraud banks of much more and conned associates into doing her bidding, often treating them like dirt in the process. And yet, they came to care for her and in the end benefitted from her deceptions, one way or another. It’s fascinating. This NetFlix miniseries from Shonda Rimes is based on a piece written by journalist Jessica Pressler for New York Magazine about the exploits of Anna Sorokin aka Anna Delvey after she is finally arrested in 2017. Julia Garner delivers a decent performance as Anna, but her voice is excruciating – like nails on a chalkboard! The sound of it made me cringe and I didn’t think I would be able to watch the entire series because of it. But I couldn’t look away! The story is too mesmerizing. Plus it was fun to see so many familiar New York actors cast in supporting roles. I liked it. Cheers Annas – both of you! Boyfriends – 0; Girlfriends – 0.

  1. Hey LIsa – you are so right! I agree with your review. I have seen Julia Garner in other shows like The Americans and I liked her. She makes my girlfriend meter. But her voice in this show is awful. I also keep watching because the story has roped me in. And I liked seeing the New York actors as well that I have seen in other shows. The guy playing Anna’s attorney is from Succession which I love.

      2. Success!!! A big thanks to my bff Lisa a.k.a. Mystical Mum for conveying my thoughts to the group. If I may elaborate on the series Inventing Anna…

        Julia Garner also stars in the series Ozark as Ruth, a badass southern woman who doesn’t take crap from anyone. She is an amazing actress.

        Shonda Rimes, creator of this series, also created Scandal, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I liked how she recasted actors from that series.

        I’m almost done with the series and have enjoyed it. I had to drink a few glasses of 🍷🍷🍷 to numb my ears to Anna’s accent!!!
