Binging tv shows is the only option for me; one episode at a time just isn’t enough. I need to know what happens! And in a world where we’re always looking for recommendations on the next thing to catch, here’s my take, so you can check it out for yourself.
NOTE ABOUT SPOILERS: I will do my best to not include spoilers, but some may slip through. My take will focus on the general feeling of the show, maybe a few favorite parts, and any words of caution.
Word of Warning
- Age: Definitely not a show for small kids, probably not even teenagers. It’s geared towards an adult audience, even with the topic of the story. Money, and fame, and trying to understand how the legal and financial systems work in America.
- Language: There is a lot of swearing thrown around between characters, especially towards the end as they uncover more of the actual story of Anna Delvey.
- Sex: As for sex, there’s no nudity that I remember, but there is abundant conversation about relationships and hooking up.
General Feeling
At the beginning of each episode of this Netflix show, you find this disclaimer: “This whole story is completely true. Except for all the parts that are totally made up.” Everything is believable, and makes you want to know even more about these odd world that convicted con-woman, Anna Delvey, created! Based off the original article from New York magazine by Jessica Pressler, the show goes through the entire investigative story.
The show was very well made, and the acting was great. You love to hate Anna Delvey, and then you love to love her again when more information is uncovered. The show doesn’t give all the details up front, you learn more as Jessica finds out more from new sources. You feel like you’re part of the investigative team, trying to fit the puzzle pieces together.
Would I Recommend?
For someone that loves true crime? Yes, it’s a great non-murder investigative storyline.
To my husband? No, it’s definitely for someone that enjoys socialite and celebrity gossip more.
Will I watch again? No, it was an intriguing storyline, but now I know what happened.
Anything I will take with me? Maybe a bit of awe at how much drive a person can have to change their life. Fake it ’til you make it can be a real thing!
