The show is good, the cast, especially Olsen and her acting, but i can't help but think about the bigger picture, whereas it leans too much on Candy's side and the show almost feels like a "IN CANDY'S DEFENSE..."
It's weird to watch something

It's weird to watch something that dramatizes a real life case. Maybe not for me.

Love and Death

A miniseries about the axe murderer, Candy Montgomery.

Elizabeth Olsen is commanding, intense and breathtaking (the Scarlet woman). Delivering a well nuanced portrayal, she's surely secured herself an Emmy nom. After seeing Jesse Plemmons in The Power Of The Dog, his role and acting approach here is very familiar, but done well. Lilly Rabe as neurotic and dislikable Betty is impressive.

The set, visuals and cinematography are stunning, and the 70s & 80s tunes that make up the soundtrack are fitting. The plot was also unraveled slowly and deliciously.

Fans of true crime will definitely love this adaptation.

Not surprised to see a higher user score than critic score for Love & Death.

It's a well-made period drama, if not quite outstanding, and it manages to pull off a few different modes (romance, marriage drama, crime thriller, courtroom drama) without bogging down or coming unstuck.
