The Act	comment	The Act is a Hulu original true-crime limited series.The limited series (only 8 episodes) is based on a 2016 Buzzfeed article that detailed a shocking 2015 crime. Joey King, Patricia Arquette, AnnaSophia Robb and ChloÃ« Sevigny star.As an infant, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was diagnosed with a laundry list of life-threatening illnesses that left her unable to walk, confined to a wheelchair, and unable to develop mentally past the age of a fifth grader. Her tireless single mother Dee Dee struggled to care for her in the face of an abusive husband who abandoned the family, mounting medical debt, and the loss of their home—and all Gypsy's medical records—in a hurricane. Fortunately for Dee Dee and Gypsy, the community stepped in. Now they have a beautiful little pink house in the middle of a quiet neighborhood full of friendly people who are charmed by Gypsy's childlike sweetness and in awe of Dee Dee's devotion to her daughter.Except it's all a lie.Gypsy knows she isn't really sick. She knows she can walk. And she knows that her mother will never, ever let her free.And on a summer night, in a little pink house filled with secrets, something terrible is about to happen.

But unlike Gypsy, he can't shake this off when things aren't going according to plan.

It's left ambiguous if this is to make it easier to scam money and other material benefits from well-meaning observers, or to make her easier to abuse, to give her a child to indefinitely care for or some combination of the three. Either way, Dee Dee starves Gypsy Rose, keeps her medicated, subjects her to unnecessary medical treatments, gaslights her into believing that she's much younger than she actually is, and forces her to make use of Age-Inappropriate Dress — such as Disney Princess costumes.

The Act / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: In an incredibly dark way. Nick tells Gypsy (while they are in prison) that he found out Bonnie and Clyde died together. He's so proud of himself for finding this out that he doesn't consider this isn't the right time to bring this up to Gypsy (who is terrified of facing the death penalty).
