I enjoyed the last journey this story took me on, and I'm surprised at some of the critical reviews. A lot of people are complaining that the story focuses too much on the journalist. I disagree. The problem with sticking with Anna Delvy/Sorokin is that the outcome is pretty much a given. Also truly Anna is unlikable, she is basically a sociopath. So we need a protagonist that we can root for. It seems I'm in the minority but I actually liked Vivian Kent. She's an underdog that has unfairly had her career ruined and she's trying to redeem herself with a killer story before giving birth. I see the journey as not whether or not Anna gets caught, but will Vivian Kent redeem herself and just who is Anna really and also what does it mean to be successful.
I also feel like people have really short attention spans because I don't get why people feel it is too long either.
I feel the main theme is "Is success real or is it an illusion we create" and "does societies idea of success actually bring happiness". There is a lot of shallowness portrayed in this series and I think it reflects the shallowness of societies concept of success. The people in this show pursue a false ideal of success (money, fame and reputation) while actively moving away from true success: love, family and honest relationships.
