Anna delvey wiki5/15/2023 Strictly as a viewing proposition it doesn’t help that most of the episodes run more than an hour, which breeds a certain flabbiness in the storytelling. (The show is based on a New York magazine article by Jessica Pressler.) Enter Chlumsy’s Vivian, who doggedly pursues Anna and her friends, trying to expose not just what happened but who Anna really is and where that peculiar accent might have originated.

Julia Garner as Anna Delvery in 'Inventing Anna' (David Giesbrecht/Netflix). While taking liberties with the story, the underlying bones of it are pretty sensational: Delvey, a “fake heiress,” beguiled the Manhattan elite and banks alike, worming her way into high society before the walls came crashing down and landed her in a courtroom.

Rhimes has populated the show with a number of familiar faces from her ABC/”Scandal” days, but the marquee parts go to Julia Garner (“Ozark”), sporting an accent seemingly patterned after Balki in “Perfect Strangers,” and Anna Chlumsky (“Veep”). Shonda Rhimes caught lightning in a bottle for Netflix with “Bridgerton,” but her latest creation is less likely to have tongues wagging. “Inventing Anna” transforms a juicy real-life drama about a con artist among the influencer crowd into a fairly inert limited series, in part by giving almost equal weight to the reporter who broke the story.
