Hulu's new crime series "Furious" is loosely based on the 1987 thriller film "Black Widow," where Theresa Russell played "Catharine," the alias of a black widow serial killer (a woman who seduces and then murders men). "Furious," created by Elizabeth Meriwether ("New Girl," "Dying for Sex"), updates the story to the 2020s. Our hero is FBI agent Alice Black, played by Emmy Rossum (Fiona Gallagher on "Shameless"). Catherine is revamped into something more sympathetic — she's a sex trafficking victim targeting predatory men, making her more of a vigilante. Catherine in "Furious" is played by Irish actor Lola Petticrew (who uses they/them pronouns).
