The camera style and editing employed echo Channel Zero and heighten the unsettling nature of the crimes unfolding on screen. His experience on that show coupled with writing episodes of NBC's Hannibal is evident in The Act from the very beginning. Being a widely documented case, the story we see unfold across eight episodes is a blend of documented reports and liberal fiction from the author of the BuzzFeed article, Michelle Dean, and Nick Antosca.Īntosca's name may ring some bells as he was the creator of SYFY's recently cancelled horror anthology Channel Zero. As the story unfolds, we quickly learn that neither Dee Dee nor Gypsy are what they seem to be and their relationship implodes, eventually resulting in murder. People feel sorry for them with the exception of Mel (Chloe Sevigny) who doesn't quite trust the pair. Having relocated to Springfield, Missouri after Hurricane Katrina, the Blanchards are immediately welcomed by the community thanks to Dee Dee's welcoming demeanor and the sweet and kind Gypsy. Patricia Arquette, on the heels of her award-winning performance in Escape at Dannemora, plays Dee Dee Blanchard, the doting mother to Gypsy Rose ( Joey King).

Starring Patricia Arquette, Joey King, Chloe Sevigny, and AnnaSophia Robb, The Act is just as unsettling as Ryan Murphy's acclaimed series even as it presents a story that doesn't feature names as widely recognized as O.J. Now, that story is the inaugural tale for Hulu's answer to the FX anthology American Crime Story. Eventually, Dee Dee was murdered by her daughter's boyfriend and the sordid tale became fodder for news outlets across the country. Suffering from Munchausen by proxy, Blanchard intentionally sickened her daughter and reaped financial rewards from the scam. Review: A few years ago, I read a disturbing BuzzFeed article about Dee Dee Blanchard. Her quest for independence opens a Pandora’s box of secrets, one that ultimately leads to murder. Season One follows Gypsy Blanchard ( Joey King), a girl trying to escape the toxic relationship she has with her overprotective mother, Dee Dee ( Patricia Arquette).
