The Annas Are Too Similar

Yes, they are on pills, they are red wine ladies, they are a loner, and are under therapy. They are damsels in distress, miserable, obsessive, unstable, sick, judgemental, shallow ladies who from no angle gain any form of empathy. Further, these ladies are tech-savvy and enjoy playing detectives too, constantly spying on their new neighbors. In addition, they were habitants of an old house that squeaks a lot.

Also, both the Annas, don’t fail to humiliate themselves a number of times in the show.

They too hallucinate about talking to their family and it is due to their medication. This mental condition makes them, their own villain, proving them delusional numerous times and ultimately making them the wrong person in the show.
