To mark the release of "Inventing Anna", the Netflix show based on Anna Sorokin which we mentioned in the original run, we're presenting the episode again this week!

When Anna Sorokin moved to New York and invented the alter-ego that captivated the collective imagination of the entire upper echelon of The Big Apple's rich and famous, it seemed like a scheme too good to fail.

As Anna Delvey, she inspired dreams of exclusive access to art and culture, all the while grifting her way through New York's finest hotels and into the inner circles of celebrities, tech entrepreneurs and even some of America's most recognizable billionaires.

Enjoy the first Christmas episode of the show!
