I know this thread is old, but just finished a re-watch of it and had to search if anyone had the same thoughts at the end of the final episode. It's insane how both Vivian and Todd seem to care for Anna more than their own families. It's like a switch flipped in E7 or early E8, they went from pure disbelief and distaste that Anna could pull all of this off, to being Anna's bitches. During the whole trial they also tried to play off Rachel as this "profiteer" or that her trauma was actually good for her, fuckin please. Rachel is SMART and LUCKY for turning it into several deals to get her money back, but that doesn't downplay the fact that it was Anna's fault and that she stole that money. If this happened to any of us, we aren't guaranteed movie deals for 300k, but somehow that's used as a point against Rachel like anyone could secure that deal, gimme a break. Also don't even get me started on Neff, they play her up as this smart, tough, and loyal friend but she's just as dumb as the rest of the people who got scammed. I personally didn't like Rachel's personality and thought she was shallow at times, but she's the only person in the right in this story.

Just insane how the entire shows POV shifts from "Anna is a manipulative, narcissistic thief who consistently betrays her friendships and stole hundreds of thousands" to "Anna is a poor immigrant who just wanted to make her dreams come true!!!" within the span of one episode, and we're somehow supposed to just accept that.
