.keeneTV reviews InventingAnna, a new limited Netflix series from Shonda Rhimes that glamorously unravels a true-life con
is undeniably engrossing. It’s a mystery where we watch Anna Chlumsky’s Vivian Kent unravel the story, first by sensing theremore to this story after Anna’s arrest, then convincing her editors to back her on it, and ultimately explaining to Anna herself that she is the one who can tell it the right way. But even when Anna consents to be interviewed, she is an inscrutable figure, one who Vivian refers to her as both a scared girl and Hannibal Lecter. By all accounts, both are true.
It’s also delightful to see frivolously rich people get played by someone who uses their own tricks and mores against them. Anna was able to so easily move to the pinnacle of New York society because she understood, as Vivian later reveals, that by flashing money and posturing as wealthy and unbothered, doors would open. They did. The story lays bare a damning portrait of a shallow and money-obsessed culture of elites , while also making us wish that we were a part of it.
The series is also stocked with Shondaland regulars, from Katie Lowes as Anna’s frienemy Rachel to Jeff Perry’s Lou, one of three older writers who are relegated to “Scriberia” at the magazine alongside Vivian, but who end up mentoring and helping her cross the finish line with her piece.
’s Arian Moayed shines as Anna’s overworked lawyer, the aforementioned Sciberia tribe is a treat, and Alexis Floyd’s Neff—a film director and hotel worker who becomes part of Anna’s inner circle—is charming when she’s not saddled with ham-fisted dialogue.doesn’t seem to know what kind of statement it’s making with this series.
