Inventing Anna (2022 Creator Shonda Rhimes)

Dauntingly long investigation into fraudster Anna Delvey for Netflix, over 9 hours. Julia Garner's accent is somewhere between the Russian Georgia and the American one. Mostly of interest from the perspective of the investigating journalist, who has a worrying tendency to gurn, played by Anna Chlumsky, supported by veteran journalists in the office.

How these people can assume Delvey is a 'walking ATM' when she never has any money, nor feel the need to investigate her background, is beyond belief, and I am reminded of William Goldman saying that just because something's true it doesn't guarantee that the audience will buy it.

I think Shonda Rhimes is overrated. We only made it as far as episode two.
