The Episode Review
So Inventing Anna has finally come to an end with a finale that finally sees Anna behind bars for her crimes. Even here though, the final episode has been much more about Anna’s fashion than her actual crimes and it’s a shame the show didn’t include the actual line from her court case, “She showed more concern for her attire than the emotions of those she hurt.” ..
Anna Sorokin is a whistleblower who played the system to get ahead, leaving many people scrambling to make sense of it all.
The bankers are bad, and Trump is horrible. But that doesn’t mean the scam is any less bad.
The show has been an enjoyable watch, despite it being drawn out way longer than it needed to be. Some of these episodes really didn’t need to be over an hour long.
Despite all the evidence, Inventing Anna concludes with a conclusive chapter that leaves little doubt about how this story will end. ..
