The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox,' which tells the story of the then-college student's wrongful conviction, premiered on Aug. 20

The Hulu drama casts Grace Van Patten as the infamous victim of wrongful conviction in a series that's best when it pushes past the headlines.

The Hulu limited series starring Grace Van Patten retells the events surrounding Amanda Knox, a woman convicted of murdering her roommate, only for the conviction to be overturned.

You can see all of that in the show, too. The panic both Amanda and Edda feel in the first two episodes of The Twisted Tale (which you can now stream with a Hulu subscription) is palpable, and both Grace Van Patten, who plays Knox, and Horgan’s performances were remarkable.

Miniseries The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox dramatises the famous miscarriage of justice, which saw her convicted – then acquitted – of the murder of fellow student Meredith Kercher.

The Amanda Knox Story' follows wrongfully accused American exchange student Amanda Knox's journey from student to suspect.

Sharon Horgan told UPI she wanted to star in "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" because it is a nuanced family drama as opposed to a salacious true-crime saga.

The infamous kiss between Amanda Knox and boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito has been recreated for a new TV drama. The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, a new Hulu series, follows the life of Knox, who spent four years wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of roommate Meredith Kercher.
