Some shows are brunei lucah videoso bad you can't help but binge them, but Netflix's Inventing Annamisses even that mark. Created by Shonda Rhimes and based on the true story of Anna Delvey/Sorokin as published in The Cut, the series is not nearly fun enough to justify its length, quality, or even existence.
Julia Garner stars as Delvey, a German heiress who fits squarely into the ultra-wealthy millennial narcissist archetype of the early 2010s. But it turns out that Anna Delvey isn’t who she says. In fact, she doesn’t even exist. While scamming everyone she meets, she racks up a tab of hundreds of thousands of dollars that no one can pay off.

The production budget appears to be $12 and a prayer, with most of the burden put on music supervision and editing to package everything in a remotely engaging way. There is something in the writing, directing, and acting of this series — perhaps something in the water on set — that brings out lackluster performances from an otherwise reliable cast including Anna Chlumsky, Arian Moayed, Laverne Cox, and many more.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but we can retire white feminist millennial narcissism as a television trope altogether. In the final episode, one character shames another for profiting off Anna’s notoriety — as if the entire show isn’t doing the same thing by cashing checks and glamorizing something it never seems to understand. Inventing Annais its own scam artist, playing the part of a show with something meaningful to say, when it’s not actually worth its runtime.

Delvey’s story is drawn out into 9 episodes, with the finale clocking in at over 70 minutes. That’s a heavy investment to ask of the audience, particularly for such a niche story. Comparatively, a few days of headlines have spurred multiple Game Stop-inspired projects to be announced. Chances are reading the words "Game Stop" just made you blink twice and ask "What year is it?" Just typing "Game Stop" right now felt wrong.
Every headline doesn't have to be a limited series — in fact, it's the older ones like American Crime Storyor true crime dramas that work best in this genre, having stayed in the cultural consciousness for years before being adapted. Viral though they may be, stories like Delvey’s are fleeting; Twitter finds its next main character for the day and moves on at the speed of a click. These projects and the stories they're based on become dated far too quickly.

The parts that zero in on New York's media industry through Chlumsky's character and Rachel-from-Vanity-Fair(Katie Lowes) will speak to a minority that no one cares about nearly as much as we'd like to think. If anything, the combined ubiquity of Shondaland and Netflix will be what gets viewers on board. Delvey herself does not plan to watch the series. But if she does, she may wish her New York adventures were given the same treatment as Emily's in Paris.
