![]() Tim Surette įor fans of: TV that pushes artistic boundaries, hip-hop ![]() Fanning and Ryan are fantastic as the star-crossed teen lovers, garnering sympathy out of something so tragic as their long-distance relationship unfolds, and the series avoids the big mistake others commit: Instead of making heroes out of its central characters, it makes them fully dimensional. It's a more thoughtful take than other recent true-story series like The Dropout, Super Pumped, and WeCrashed, studying the possible mental health issues, depression, and teenage isolation that drove Carter ( Elle Fanning) and Roy's ( Colton Ryan) behaviors. Hulu's take on Michelle Carter, the high schooler at the center of the 2014 "texting suicide" case that saw her boyfriend, Conrad Roy, kill himself after Carter texted him encouragement to do so, focuses the story on Carter and Roy rather than the sensationalism of the alleged crime. If you can stomach just one more dramatization of a true story, then save room for The Girl From Plainville. Elle Fanning and Colton Ryan, The Girl From Plainville Steve Dietl/Hulu
