How has Lifetime never used this title for one of its ripped-from-the-headline potboilers? A new three-part true-crime docuseries revisits the 2019 murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz, for which a charismatic young Florida man named Wade Wilson was convicted. The series is also a study in media obsession, exploring how Wilson, whose shared name with a Marvel Comics hero led to him being dubbed the “Deadpool Killer,” became an online sensation, attracting a legion of female fans with his “bad boy” persona, including provocative tattoos and seductive winks and smiles at the camera.
