If you’re anything like me, then you’ll be sucked into hulu’s newest thriller about a girl who tries to escape her toxic life with her mother. The Act, an exciting coming of age drama, will definitely leave you on edge. The series premiered on hulu on March 20th and will be premereing every Wednesday. Don’t miss out on a true story through this young girl, Gypsy Rose’s, eyes. 

I’m only one episode in and I’m already so sucked in. This extreme case of munchausen syndrome by proxy is a 100% true story. Honestly, I’m never one to recommend shows but this is a must see for everyone. Gypsy Rose blanchard is currently facing a 10 year sentence in jail, but actress, Joey Key, tells her story alongside actress Patricia Arquette, who plays Gypsy’s mom, Dee Dee.

Here’s the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex1qKejLAJU
