    I'm watching this with my wife, because her colleague recommended it to her. But it is just so boring and annoying as hell. Almost literally, because Anna's stupid ass accent reminds me of Death from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.
    Oh yeah. And why call it a mini-series when it's 9(!) 1 hour episodes long! I thought we'd be almost done after two, but now I need to watch 7 more hours of this    I'm watching this with my wife, because her colleague recommended it to her.

    Just like it's subject matter, this feel like's a con.
    The further I continued with this series the less I cared about it's conclusion. What tries to be some sort of profound ending, is just flat, and it doesn't help when all the lead characters are despicable in some capacity.

    Typical Netflix series bloat disappointments aside, “Inventing Anna” is a pretty engrossing ride largely due to Chlumsky’s relatability and Garner’s bonkers accent.

    Unfortunately, the series spends nearly as much time with another Anna: Anna Chlumsky, in an overwrought performance as the journalist desperate to tell Anna's story. [14 - 27 Feb 2022, p.6]

    “Inventing Anna” isn’t a tough watch. The actors do a lot to compensate for what’s missing. But it’s overly devoted to the Vivian part of the story. If anything, I found myself wishing Alexis Floyd’s Neff could somehow spin off her own series, right in the middle of this one.
