Furious

Elizabeth Meriwether, the creator of New Girl and the devastating Dying for Sex, takes an odd swerve into serial killer territory with this eight episode series loosely inspired by the 1987 thriller Black Widow. Emmy Rossum plays Alice Black, an FBI agent hunting a calculating female serial killer, played with icy charisma by Lola Petticrew, and the show's central gambit is structural: it tells the story from both sides, giving the killer's backstory and reasoning nearly equal weight, until the pursuit starts to look like a twisted courtship.

American Hostage

Jon Hamm finally gets the role his Mad Men gravitas has been circling: Fred Heckman, a beloved Indianapolis radio reporter who ends up on the wrong end of his own microphone when an armed man, Tony Kiritsis, takes him hostage live on air in 1977. Based on the scripted podcast and the real case, the eight episode MGM+ series turns a three day standoff into a period piece about media saturation, police incompetence, and a kidnapper who understood television better than the people covering him.

A Killer Story

HBO's three part true crime documentary digs into the 2002 Topeka murders of Mike Sisco and Karen Harkness and the two decade legal saga that followed, and it wisely spends as much time on the amateur investigators as the crime. Eileen and Keen Umbehr, a Kansas couple who became obsessed with the case after reading about it, spent years pushing a theory that prosecutors eventually used to convict Dana Chandler, and director Matthew Galkin builds the series around an uncomfortable question: what happens when true crime fans become part of the story?
