I will probably express not very popular opinion but having watched some videos with real Anna my only thought was “who on earth and why would want to make a film about this”- a story about mediocre post soviet union style (ie tasteless) girl with repulsive appearance who was able to deceive few people and some financial institutions. 50k here, 50k there-nothing for an average American bank. As for the real fraud, she wasn’t even close to the deal. So what’s this story about? Btw if someone doesn’t know, it’s pretty normal for that part of the world to pretend to be rich when you are not and seek the way to deceive the system. Anyway, coming back to the show itself. It’s not very clear who the main character is - Anna or Vivian. I actually caught myself on skipping the parts where she appeared as her face play was impossible to watch and the story around Vivian was absolutely boring. Person obsessed about criminal who neglected her pregnancy and abandoned her husband…not a surprise why she sympathized Anna. Another questionable accent is victim blaming and criminal romanticization. Really? I didn’t like the way they showed Rachel who was actually the only noteworthy person here as made lemons to be a lemonade. Instead, little thief Anna is presented as complicated multifaceted person and Rachel who find the way to protect herself as a friend traitor… To conclude. Don’t waste your time if you are expecting smth similar to The Dropout. It’s more close to the cheap version of the Gossip Girls but with unworthy outfits.
