Winter TV Watch List: Say Hello to Anna and Goodbye to Boba Fett

thewrap.com:

“Inventing Anna”Friday, February 11, NetflixScammer season continues! This week’s biggest show is “Inventing Anna,” based on the real-life story of Anna Delvey nee Sorokin (played in the film by a comfortably over-the-top Julia Garner), a New York socialite who claimed to be a German heiress but was, in actuality, a Russian-born nobody.

Watch as she cons her way into glittery parties, sweet-talks some of the most powerful financiers in the city into investing in her cockamamie schemes and burns every bridge she walks across (in her designer heels).

It’s a scintillating story, made even more propulsive and watchable by the fact that it’s still going on. (We won’t spoil anything so just Google her after you watch.) Even if you’ve watched last fall’s episode of “20/20” detailing the case, you’ll still find out new details here.

This is the latest Shonda Rhimes production for Netflix (based, in part, on a New York magazine article by Jessica Pressler) and could just as easily share the name as an earlier series of the super-producer, since this is quite the scandal. [NEWS]“The Book of Boba Fett”Wednesday, February 9, Disney+What started off as a somewhat conventional spinoff of Disney+’s wildly popular “The Mandalorian” has turned into something stranger precisely because, a couple of weeks ago, it just decided to become “The Mandalorian.” Now, with all of the characters in the same rough geographical area and both sides of the street more or less taken care of, hopefully the actual character of Boba Fett (introduced in “The Empire Strikes Back” and played here by prequel actor Temuera Morrison) will have his moment to shine.
