The Inventing Anna Limited Series was Really Good.
Pros: This series took me 4 days to complete. I like how it shows the darker side of the American dream. It did well blending the storylines in both the past and present. Julia Garner and Anna Chlumsky both ladies equally own their performances.
Cons: Every episode was a drag to keep your attention. It does get harder to keep in touch of what’s going on and can get confusing at times.
