1. Dirty John
This real crime anthology series adapts actual crime stories about women who have been pushed to the brink by violent males. Season 1 is the one that is most similar to Inventing Anna. It stars Connie Britton as Debra Newell, a financially successful lady who falls in love with a beautiful man she meets online named John (Eric Bana).

Exra (Rob Heaps), her newest fiancé, has denied her access to his inheritance, complicating the issue and jeopardizing her ambitions.

3. Dr. Death
The real crime series “Dr. Death” chronicles a pretty lethal con, as the title suggests. The first season of the anthology series, based on the podcast of the same name, follows Christopher Duntsch. He is a neurosurgeon who gained a reputation for leaving a staggering number of his patients severely damaged and even death as a result of his bad operation. Dr. Duntsch is played by Joshua Jackson in a disturbing performance. Christian Slate and Alec Baldwin play other doctors trying to figure out what is going on with him. The series’ central topic is whether Dr. Dunstch is simply incompetent or if he intentionally harms his patients.
4. The Dropout
Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ con was considerably bigger than Anna Delvey’s, and she really got the money that Delvey came close to getting. Holmes infamously became a Silicon Valley sensation by selling investors on a medical technology business whose product, a groundbreaking blood-testing machine, not only didn’t exist but was physically impossible, as presented in Hulu’s limited series. The Dropout is a lighthearted apologia for its subject with some humorous aspects.
5. Lupin
Also, check out the French-language series “Lupin” if you’re searching for a more fictitious tale about defrauding the wealthy and powerful. The drama stars Omar Sy as a man who is inspired by the exploits of a great thief to seek vengeance on the wealthy and powerful family who tore his own family apart.
