If you missed the series when it launched earlier this year, don't worry. The limited series was nominated for two Emmy awards-best actress for Joey King's portrayal of Gypsy Rose, and Patricia Arquette for her critically acclaimed portrayal of Dee Dee Blanchard. Their narrative unraveled over the course of the next seven years, and the one-time human interest story turned into a full-blown murder investigation. The two quickly became an enigma-a chronically ill daughter with a mother doing her best to make ends meet.
The series follows the story of Dee Dee Blanchard and her daughter Gypsy Rose after they moved from Louisiana to Missouri in 2007. While the true crime genre is having its most active year in quite a while, Hulu's Emmy-nominated limited series The Act, may be one of the most complex and haunting stories the genre has seen in a while.
