Matt Roush says...
The streamer has distinguished itself in recent months with ripped-from-the-headlines limited-series docudramas, with Dopesick the standout from a lineup that includes Pam & Tommy and the ongoing The Dropout. In Plainville (the first three of eight episodes drop this week), The Great’s Elle Fanning stars as Michelle Carter, a Massachusetts teenager who finds herself in an unprecedented media and legal spotlight when she is charged with complicity in the suicide of her boyfriend Conrad Roy III (Colton Ryan) after texts are discovered in which she seemingly urges him to end his life. The series explores their relationship while dramatizing the “texting-suicide” trial that made national headlines and inspired HBO’s memorable I Love You, Now Die documentary in 2019.
