5/10

I think I was more impressed with Anna after I read the original article *New York* magazine vs. after this series; here, they paint her as simply someone looking for fame. Telling the story from the angle of the reporter held promise but ultimately was not interesting enough for me to continue watching.

You've reached the end.
