TV series show: 'Inventing Anna', a dull spin on an otherwise captivating story
- 2 years ago
Netflix has taken the real-life story of phony New York socialite Anna Delvey, aka Anna Sorokin, and turned it into the series "Inventing Anna". Our TV critic Yena Lee tells us why the news reports are in fact much more interesting than the fictionalised show.
We also discuss K-drama icon Son Ye-jin's latest project, "Thirty-Nine". It's a delightfully cringeworthy show on women reflecting on friendship, love and life as they're about to enter a new decade. Finally, we return to a basketball court in West Philadelphia for the reboot of 1990s sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". However, "Bel-Air" won't make audiences laugh out loud: instead of comedy, creators have made it into a drama. Yena explains why she thinks this was a thoughtful choice.
