Aside from Elizabeth Olsen's exceptional performance, I think Love & Death fell far short of what it seemed to promise in a first instance.

Honestly the results were very much on par with Hulu's miniseries about the same case, however being from HBO, I must say I was expecting more and better.

It's clear that the concept of this miniseries is to develop a sort of complete deconstruction of Candy Montgomery's persona, and Olsen does her job in terms of what can be seen about it.

However, how much of anything that happens outside of what was seen publicly can be corroborated as a truthful testimony than the mere imagination of the screenwriters based merely on whatever research they've done on their subject?
There's a lack of depth there because it's open to several different interpretations.

It's a competent and entertaining show, but only that.
It will be very forgettable in a couple of months.
It has the budget of HBO, but not the decisive quality that name implies.
