“Also, we know bad things happen in the world and when we can watch someone successfully caught and prosecuted for it, we get a sense that maybe were a little safer in the world.” “There’s a whole contingent of people who are really fascinated by what happens in people’s minds that causes them to commit these horrific, horrific crimes,” Keeler, who taught a class about Crime and Storytelling last fall, said in an interview with IndieWire. Given the popularity of podcasts including “My Favorite Murder” and “Serial,” the must-see nature of previous documentary series including HBO’s “The Jinx” and Netflix’s “The Keepers,” and the entire existence of Investigation Discovery, what is it about true crime that people can’t help but rubberneck?

In the weeks and months after, it was revealed that Dee Dee had suffered from Munchausen by proxy, keeping Gypsy Rose highly – unnecessarily – medicated, until the young woman had her mother murdered by her Internet boyfriend. The Blanchards’ story has been, by turns, horrifying and fascinating people since the supposedly gravely-ill Gypsy Rose was discovered missing and Dee Dee was found murdered in her Missouri home in 2015.

That seems to be the takeaway as not one but three projects – Hulu’s limited series “ The Act,” Lifetime’s movie “Love You to Death,” and Investigation Discovery’s documentary “Gypsy’s Revenge” – are eligible for the upcoming Emmy season, and all three were inspired by the true-crime tragedy of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her mother, Dee Dee. Matricide and Munchausen syndrome by proxy may not sound like natural Emmy bait, but in 2019 anything is possible.
