Inventing Anna: Season 1 | Ratings & Reviews

"Garner is stuck with a character who never develops into much more than an irritating cartoon..."

SalonSalon

"Even with an occasionally clunky script, Inventing Anna is ridiculously watchable..."

DeciderDecider

"Bog-standard rom-com."

FilmInkFilmInk

"Even as the show around her stutters, Garner leans into her role with a vulpine, barely there grin that proves irresistible."

VarietyVariety

"Demands patience that doesn’t pay off, squandering its promising potential along the way."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"Glossy but potentially as toxic as its girlboss villain"

Little White LiesLittle White Lies

"Occasionally messy and often unwieldy but they’re also savvy, sly and compulsively watchable."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"A largely gripping recounting of the original scam and a sophisticated dissection of a postmodern media event."

BBCBBC

"An overly long muddle, never quite sure what it wants to say about its title character, or how to say it."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"Part of the perversely entertaining allure of both Delvey and the series is being able to admire her epic gall while also being glad you’re not her."

Wall Street JournalWall Street Journal

"A show all about superficial pizzazz, in which flashy aesthetics ripped from reality TV arent just surface texture."

IGNIGN

"Incredibly fun to watch but filled with issues"

PastePaste

"It trades in efficiency and force for length and reduced churn. Still, there’s a lot to chew on."

IndieWireIndieWire

"Bloated... alternately seeks to scold and celebrate New York con artist Anna Delvey."

Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly

"Careens all over the place, and one of its only consistencies is an exhausting insistence that Delvey was talented but misunderstood."
