  "summary": "Charlie Hunnam plays Andrew Borden, Lizzie Borden's father, in the fourth season of the Netflix series \"Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story\". This role reunites him with Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, with whom he previously worked on \"Sons of Anarchy\" is not mentioned but he did star in it.\n\nThe series explores the infamous Lizzie Borden axe murders, in which Lizzie was accused of killing her father and stepmother in 1893. The show also focuses on Bridget Sullivan, the housemaid who may have helped facilitate the killings, played by Vicky Krieps. Krieps' character, Bridget, is described as a \"walking paradox\" who is both confident and unsure of herself.\n\nLizzie Borden was acquitted of the murders, but the case has attracted attention for over 100 years, with various adaptations and interpretations, including a 1975 TV movie and a 2018 film. The Netflix series, created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, joins the long list of explorations of the Borden case.",
