The rhyme has made Lizzie Borden synonymous with an axe for more than a century, but the legal and historical answer is considerably less certain. Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her father, Andrew Borden, and stepmother, Abby Borden, but she was found not guilty in 1893. Nobody else was convicted, and the murders remain…
Ella Beatty may have one of Hollywood’s most recognizable surnames, but Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story represents a major step into the spotlight on her own. Beatty plays Lizzie Borden in the fourth installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s Monster anthology, becoming the first woman to serve as the central “Monster” of the…
Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story is making the relationship between Lizzie Borden and her family’s maid, Bridget Sullivan, much more important than the surviving historical record allows us to say with certainty. The upcoming fourth season portrays Lizzie, played by Ella Beatty, and Bridget, played by Vicky Krieps, as developing a romantic and sexual…
“Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story” takes Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s true-crime anthology back to 1892 and one of America’s most enduring murder mysteries.

Charlie Hunnam portrays Andrew, Rebecca Hall plays…
Anyone watching the trailer for Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story could reasonably wonder what Aileen Wuornos is doing there. Lizzie Borden’s story belongs to the 1890s, while Wuornos committed her murders almost a century later. The answer is that Aileen Wuornos has no real-life connection to Lizzie Borden. The two women never met and did…
Chompoo: Lost & Forgotten does not end with Netflix uncovering a surprise killer. The courts had already taken the case much further than the documentary’s title initially suggests: Chaiphol “Uncle Phol” Wipha was convicted by Thailand’s Court of Appeal in 2025 of intentional murder, child abduction and an offense involving interference with the body or…
Three-year-old Orawan “Nong Chompoo” Wongsricha’s death spent years being treated publicly as an unsolved mystery, but the current legal answer is much clearer. Thailand’s Court of Appeal Region 4 found her uncle-in-law, Chaiphol “Uncle Phol” Wipha, guilty of intentional murder in August 2025 and sentenced him to 26 years in prison. That ruling went beyond…
“The Caretaker Next Door” keeps its cast relatively small, which works well for a thriller built around isolation and mistrust. Eve Mauro leads the Lifetime movie as Willow Stevenson, a prosecutor who moves into her late grandmother’s farmhouse after a dangerous conviction puts her safety at risk. Colin Egglesfield stars opposite her as Luke Carson,…
The strangest part of Netflix’s Chompoo: Lost & Forgotten is not simply that Chaiphol “Uncle Phol” Wipha became a suspect in the death of three-year-old Orawan “Nong Chompoo” Wongsricha. It is that, while the investigation was still unresolved, Phol became a genuine celebrity with fans, commercial work, online followers and entertainment appearances. Thai television covered…
“The Caretaker Next Door” gives its heroine what appears to be the ideal hiding place and then steadily turns it against her. Eve Mauro stars as Willow Stevenson, a prosecutor whose role in putting a dangerous criminal behind bars leaves her worried about retaliation. Rather than remain in the city, Willow retreats to the farmhouse…
The moment Arturo Carmona and Hector Rosales discover that the muddy passenger in a stolen car is Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman sounds designed for a thriller, but the encounter at the center of Facing El Chapo really happened. Federal highway officers did intercept Guzman and his lieutenant while they were fleeing Los Mochis on January…
One detail in Netflix’s Facing El Chapo may seem more unbelievable than the accidental capture itself. After Arturo Carmona and Hector Rosales discover that their prisoner is Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, they do not immediately drive him to an ordinary police station. Instead, they hide one of the world’s most wanted criminals inside a roadside…
