May 15, 2022So much effort in terms of lighting, positioning of the camera, angles and shots, I mean cinematography for that trivial and inane a story.And all these "character" actors always playing the same way (bored housewife, douche husband, hot desperate housewife....)...Tired Hollywood tiring its audience with drawn out series. I gave up in the middle of Ep. 3.

Candy is intelligently scripted and directed. It also has two phenomenal performances. ... Female rage is an under-explored topic – whether or not it culminates in murder. If Candy concentrates on that, rather than the 41 Lizzie Borden-esque blows, it could add something to the sum of human knowledge, if not exactly happiness.

Part of the problem is that Candy is trying to be all the things simultaneously: a gritty true-crime series, a tense courtroom drama and a rich character study. But without committing to any of these ideas, it ends up going nowhere.

If you really like true-crime dramas, you’ll probably like this one. But if you like true stories – ones that create layered versions of real people and use them to illustrate something universal about the human experience – Candy won’t hit the sweet spot.
