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.
