Scam stories have never been so popular on screens. After the success of the “Inventing Anna” series on Netflix and the release of “The Dropout” on Disney+, a little quiz is needed on this fascinating trend.
The pros of the scam are popular. In just a few months, many projects have appeared on streaming platforms with one thing in common: the theme of scams. This fascination is not new, but a real trend seems to be emerging with, as a bonus, a real success at stake.
One of the most talked about series is none other than Inventing Anna on Netflix, created by the high priestess of American fiction, Shonda Rhimes. She recounts the manipulation of a young woman, Anna Sorokin, who pretends to be a rich German heiress. A crazy story, but adapted from real events.
Available on Disney+, the series The Dropout with Amanda Seyfried also tells the insane journey of a woman, Elizabeth Holmes, who completely fooled the Sillicon Valley.
AlloCiné offers you a quiz of seven questions to come back to the many successes of this genre and test your knowledge on the subject.
In parallel with The Dropout, a new project about the fate of Elizabeth Homes is currently in development with Jennifer Lawrence and Adam McKay directing. One thing is certain: the scammers have not finished fascinating the screens.
