The 2002 abduction and disappearance of 14-year-old girl from her bedroom in Salt Lake City fascinated the nation for months as local police dismissed suspects and the absence grew longer. When she was found nine months later amid an addled self-styled prophet walking the streets, it seemed a miracle. Now, enough time has passed to tell the whole story again in the documentary “Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart” (Netflix, streaming). It includes interviews with the family, the sister that was ignored, and the victim heeler, now nearly pushing 40 (And it’s nearly 40 minutes in until she appears).
Ryan Murphy returns to his roots of sorts with a series that sounds the most like his first series “Nip/Tuck” from 20 years ago. The new “Beauty” (FX, 9 p.m.) begins with the death of international supermodels, leading to the discovery of a sexually transmitted virus that transforms people into physical perfection, but with some horrific side effects. Ashton Kutcher is the evil billionaire behind the engineering of a drug called Beauty that is the cause of it. Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall play FBI agents who look into it all. The cast also includes Bella Hadid, Isabella Rossellini and Anthony Ramos. It can’t be worse than Murphy’s other recent series, “All’s Fair” (Hulu, streaming). Three episodes of “The Beauty” show tonight.
