Truth is most definitely stranger than fiction in Anatomy of Lies, the three-part Peacock documentary series about the meteoric rise and shocking fall of Grey’s Anatomy executive producer/writer Elisabeth Finch.

If you’re unfamiliar with the disgraced power player’s story, the gist is this: For years, Finch told tall tales about how she survived a rare form of bone cancer, lost a kidney and even decided to have an abortion because of treatment. Only it was all BS, a fact that only came to light when Vanity Fair published an exposé in 2022, long after Finch had even managed to incorporate elements of “her” experience into Grey’s Anatomy episodes.

“Her final mark,” reads Peacock’s description of the doc, “was trauma survivor Jennifer Beyer, who entrusted Finch with her deepest secrets. But as Beyer uncovers the web of lies that deceived Hollywood for years, she faces a daunting challenge: Can she reclaim the narrative from a convincing storyteller who showed no signs of stopping?”
