Inventing Anna

Inventing Anna - Review

If you like stories of fraud and deception, this is your show. But do not get too excited. The idea was good, but if you expect to understand the real story of Anna Delvey, you might be disappointed.

The show is interesting enough. However, there are some (very) boring moments - especially in the first couple of episodes.

The journalist

Vivian is one of the characters with a more significant impact. She is an obsessed journalist looking for answers about Anna Delvey. She runs the extra mile to try to understand the reason, the true reason for someone becoming like her. Even after many dead ends, it is difficult for her to give up on the story. No one becomes Anna Delvey for no reason. Or do they?

I find Vivian a bit annoying, to be honest - she is a grown woman acting like a toddler with a tantrum. I could not empathize with this character, which is a problem because, in some parts, she is the protagonist, not Anna.

From my point of view, a terrible mistake for the show.

The court

Anna’s trial seems to be directly out of a sitcom. A year ago, I would say it was the most insane trial I’ve ever seen. But now, after the circus about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard… I guess everything is possible, right?

What’s the point here?

The show is watchable, it can even catch your attention, but you always feel that something is missing. Yet, you keep watching because you want an answer - and that’s when the problem begins. You don’t actually have an answer. Anna is slightly crazy and believes her own lies.

In the end, it seems they are trying to victimize her. I’m not sure what message they are trying to pass here.

I thought the show would be much better, and maybe that’s why I feel slightly disappointed. So, if you belong to the small percentage of people that haven’t watched Inventing Anna yet, I would say “go for it” but lower your expectations.

Can Monsters Love?Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story

Netflix's Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story is not just a true crime documentary — it’s a psychological deep dive into one of the most disturbing couples in British criminal history . While the crimes are shocking, the nature of Fred and Rose’s relationship truly unsettles. Were they in love? Or was their bond something far darker? A Match Made in Hell From the moment Fred and Rose met, something clicked. But it wasn’t a love story — it was a dangerous connection built on control, abuse, and mutual cruelty. The documentary shows us how they fed off each other’s darkest urges. It wasn’t about love in the traditional sense. It was about power, domination, and shared depravity. Can Psychopaths Feel Love? This is the big question. Can two people with such extreme psychological disorders really feel love? Some experts believe psychopaths can feel attachment, but not empathy — they might need someone, but not care for them in the way most of us understand....

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...

Adolescence: A Mirror We Can’t Look Away From

How Can a 13-Year-Old Commit Murder? What was once an absurd, unthinkable question is the central premise of Adolescence , Netflix ’s latest British drama. From the first episode, the show grips you with its raw portrayal of youth violence. It pushes us to confront an unsettling reality—children, barely teenagers, are capable of unimaginable acts. But Adolescence does not sensationalize crime; rather, it dissects it , laying bare the complex web of factors that lead to such a moment. It’s Not About the Victim Unlike many crime dramas, Adolescence does not dwell on the victim. Instead, it forces us to ask: Who is the perpetrator? Who is his family? Who are his friends? What kind of environment produces a child capable of killing? The show wrestles with these haunting questions, exposing the uncomfortable truth that the killer does not come from an easily identifiable “dangerous” background. His family is normal—too normal. This leads us to the most disturbing though...
