    Zero right out of the gate for lack of originality. I just watched a mini-series on this with Jennifer Biehl, which was very good. Why would I watch another one with a different actress?

    Olsen delivers a Candy who’s human and credible (warmer, twitchier than Biel’s). If I have a problem, it’s with Betty, who feels just a little underwritten. Call me old-fashioned, but victims shouldn’t be sidelined in their own tragic stories.

    Incredibly compelling in its most shocking moments, but a little slow otherwise, Love & Death lives and dies by Elizabeth Olsen’s excellent, charismatic central performance.

    It doesn’t expand our understanding of anyone. It makes us voyeurs without a redemptive aspect. And it makes Betty – especially here, where she is notably underwritten – no more than a plot point. Some stories should perhaps be left in peace.
