Inventing Anna to Love is Blind: the seven best shows
Shonda Rhimes serves up the startling story of Anna Delvey, who defrauded New York high society by posing as a wealthy heiress. Plus: the wildly addictive dating show is back
“This whole story is completely true. Apart from the parts that are totally made up.” In terms of constructing a narrative about a con woman, this is a good place to start. Until her arrest in 2017, Anna Sorokin (AKA Delvey) posed as a wealthy German heiress in order to infiltrate and defraud New York high society. This new serial drama from Shonda Rhimes tells her startling story – through the eyes of Vivian Kent (Anna Chlumsky), a journalist struggling to write a feature about her. Julia Garner plays Sorokin as an odd, unsettling enigma – pivoting unpredictably between brittle vulnerability and extreme arrogance; defying any attempts to categorise or explain her. PH
For Georgia comedian Ms. Pat, the road to a Netflix special has a been long and bumpy one. She’s a survivor of sexual abuse who was selling crack cocaine on the streets of Atlanta by the age of 15. She was encouraged to attempt standup comedy by a caseworker and, since 2002, has been firmly establishing herself on the scene. This hour-long set turns a turbulent life story into dark humour, even when dealing with poverty, juvenile detention and the drugs game. Not for the faint-hearted but bracing, incredibly funny and eventually redemptive stuff. PH
Unmistakably Matt Groening in every way, the Simpsons and Futurama creator’s satirical medieval fantasy adventure cartoon for adults continues into part four. Fans last saw Luci (Eric Andre) being decapitated, Elfo (Nat Faxon) being taken away by ogres, and Bean (Abbi Jacobson) being dragged to hell (well, taken down in an elevator) by her mother Queen Dagmar (Sharon Horgan) to marry a mysterious man. Plenty of action to dive straight back into, then. The gang races to reunite over the course of 10 episodes.
“A whodunnit without an ending? It won’t even be worth the paper that it won’t be printed on.” Susan Ryeland (Lesley Manville) heads to Suffolk to find the ending herself in this adaptation of Anthony Horowitz’s 2016 bestselling murder mystery within a murder mystery. Cue a parallel tale spanning two time periods: 50s and contemporary Britain. With Tim McMullan (Foyle’s War), Daniel Mays (Line of Duty) and Pippa Haywood (Bodyguard, Bridgerton) joining the cast, this six-part series is set to be a satisfying dose of armchair detective fun.
