Im on the fence about this. As I was watching it I honestly wanted the story to only focus on Anna. All the parties, glam, art, lies, fame it seems like such a fun setting. I feel like they didn't go crazy when it could have been a "catch me if you can" small town German girl turned femme fatale con-artist who eventually hit rock bottom. She could have been an iconic villan with a vivid backstory and aesthetics. It's NOT a docuseries so they could have fabricated Anna so much more and make the story just loosely inspired so we could have more depth to a character that kind of felt empty. I have no idea what she is thinking. Everyone watching this was propably intrigued by Annas story but the concept that pieced it together made it a bit incoherent. By trying to keep it "realistic" it's confusing.
I did enjoy it but I wanted more watching it and didn't really care for the pregnancy of Vivian, because I wanted to watch a psycho stealing money from people born into wealth who do stuff us middle class people rarely experience. We see her looking at a bill for 27000 , people on yachts and we do get some dialogue about class from Todd (Annas lawyer) about feeling like a fish out of water but his wife is just like "so sorry you were poor". Anna slithered into a world she didn't "belong in" and I feel like thats a feeling alot of us relate to but that aspect of her story was just not visible. I just wanted more depth.
