"Christina Ricci turns true crime into gothic camp"
This Lifetime series picks up after Lizzie Borden's real-life acquittal for the axe murders of her father and stepmother, imagining a fictional string of crimes and cover-ups in the years that followed. Christina Ricci plays Borden as cold, calculating, and quietly menacing beneath Victorian propriety. The tone leans pulpy and melodramatic rather than prestige-drama restrained, with lurid plotting and soap-opera pacing carrying each episode. It's more guilty-pleasure period thriller than serious historical biography, anchored almost entirely by Ricci's committed, unsettling performance in the lead role.
Christina Ricci's icy, magnetic performance as a woman getting away with murder.
you want historically accurate storytelling instead of pulpy, speculative melodrama.
