This week's Thursday Movie Picks is TMP Television Edition - Con Artists
---
This is a fun theme. My picks are all newer series.
The Company You Keep (2023)
The series follows a family of con artists who targets other criminals for their cons. This was an ok series which I have seen a few episodes. Unfortunately it has been cancelled so I don’t think I’ll be finishing the rest of the season.
Chloe (2022)
Limited series Chloe follows a social media obsessed woman, Becky, who usually does small cons for example pretending to know someone to gain entrance to a club or event. Then, when a rich woman, Chloe, whom she has been following on social media, apparently commits suicide, Becky assumes a fake identity to infiltrate Chloe’s circle of friends to find out just how Chloe’s seemingly perfect life went wrong. I really enjoyed this, it is such a gem. Initially the series had looked to be about social media obsession and the superficiality of perfect curated lives but then there’s also the nice little mystery and thriller element of what exactly happened to Chloe and will Becky be found out as the imposter that she is.
Limited series about Anna Delvey the fake German heiress. I actually enjoyed it, very entertaining. It’s unbelievable how so many people were duped by her. Like no one googled who her supposedly rich dad was? Not even the banks really digged into her identity. And if she was a German heiress, why had she seemingly not hang out with other rich Germans or even other Europeans? When overseas, people tend to try and connect with their fellow countrymen…Anna doesn’t seem to do this at all, that there makes her looks sooo suspicious. Then there was the regular non-rich, non-socialite people…the trainer, magazine writer and concierge who eagerly believed they were her friends despite the huge income divide…they were so silly…rich people are not friends with people they employ/pay.
