    The first two episodes are out.

    I watched the first episode and Arquette is again on top form.

    "The Act is a seasonal anthology series that tells startling, stranger-than-fiction true crime stories. The first season follows Gypsy Blanchard, a girl trying to escape the toxic relationship she has with her overprotective mother. Her quest for independence opens a Pandora's box of secrets, one that ultimately leads to murder."

    Watched the first two episodes of this last night. Disturbing and engrossing.

    Edit: Mod, please delete, didn't see Agent Coulson's previous thread.

    Patricia Arquette has not aged well, hoping she is just made to look older for this show?
