The true-crime channel has found a new way to tell the story of Aileen Wuornos, the female serial killer who was executed in Florida in 2002 after being convicted in the deaths of seven men. Portrayed most famously by Oscar winner Charlize Theron in the movie Monster and most recently by Sarah Paulson as part of the Lizzie Borden installment of Netflix’s Monster, Wuornos is once again brought to life in a hybrid of documentary and docudrama. The three-part series (airing in full over three hours) incorporates cutting-edge digital replication and special visual effects to create a three-dimensional mask providing a digital likeness of Wuornos that was laid over actor Morag Peacock. The docuseries uses verified transcripts and first-hand testimony to offer what is billed as a new perspective on Wuornos’s life, crimes and capture.
