Netflix drama review: Inventing Anna - Anna Delvey's glamorous grifter life in New York dramatised by Shonda Rhimes

Julia Garner as Anna Delvey in a still from Shonda Rhimes’ Netflix drama series Inventing Anna, based on the life and crimes of the New York high society grifter also known as Anna Sorokin."This whole story is completely true. Except for all the parts that are totally made up," is the declaration that opens each episode of Inventing Anna, the latest series from hitmaker Shonda Rhimes under her deal with Netflix.

Over the course of the show, they develop an abrasive, tentative rapport - trading details for designer underwear - all while Vivian is just weeks away from giving birth to her first child.The extent of Anna's grift unfolds in a series of flashbacks, with each episode focusing on a different oblivious, naive or money-grubbing victim.

After establishing herself within the snobbish yet achingly superficial circles of New York high society, Anna unveils her grand scheme: The Anna Delvey Foundation, an exclusive members club and creatives' refuge in the heart of Manhattan. Vivian is also able to track down Anna's cabal of BFFs, mostly thanks to her high-profile and hugely prolific Instagram account. Hotel concierge Neff , Vanity Fair staffer Rachel and personal trainer Kasy all believed they knew the real Anna, the true friend behind the luxury wardrobe and oversized glasses, but the more Vivian tugs on the threads of their friendship, the more everything starts to unravel.

Inevitably, these insufferably accommodating veterans are all too willing to assist in countless hours of research and legwork, leaving Vivian free to hound Anna's long-suffering lawyer for access to her case files. Inventing Anna is brazen, unsubtle, yet undeniably entertaining and, as it's Netflix, about three episodes too long.
