Right now you can watch Inventing Anna in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix — and it holds up to as much attention as you give it. The 1-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 478 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Anna Chlumsky sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Inventing Anna earns its spot. Inventing Anna takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. Audacious entrepreneur or con artist? A journalist chases down the story of Anna Delvey, who convinced New York's elite she was a German heiress. Anna Chlumsky and Julia Garner lead a cast that treats the material with real seriousness. It was aired in 2022. Inventing Anna resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in Inventing Anna. The tonal similarities to State of Play are real, though Inventing Anna carves out its own identity quickly. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Anna Chlumsky's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.

Inventing Anna wrapped up in 2022, created by Shonda Rhimes — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
