Over three nights and six hours (continuing Saturday and Sunday), a true-crime docuseries gives Gypsy Rose Blanchard a chance to tell her story in full. In interviews conducted before her parole hearing last fall, which led to her early release on Dec. 28, Blanchard recounts her role in the 2015 murder of her mentally ill mother Dee Dee, who had subjected Gypsy Rose to years of physical and mental abuse in an extreme example of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Dee Dee had forced Gypsy for years to feign symptoms of cancer and muscular dystrophy, and when the traumatized daughter was 23, still posing as a teen, she recruited her then-boyfriend to kill her mom, a situation dramatized in Hulu’s The Act, also the subject of HBO’s Mommy Dead and Dearest. “I want to talk about it now because I want to be free of all the disturbing secrets,” Blanchard says.
