A terrific Elizabeth Olsen gives Love & Death some life, but this rote retelling of a grisly murder does little to distinguish itself from other true crime tales. Read critic reviews

Very entertaining telling of a true story. Great acting by all involved. I've never heard of this true story before this series, so I was captivated and on the edge of my seat. Love, marital affairs, murder, courtroom drama… it has it all. Elizabeth Olsen is a star!

Empieza lentona, pero va agarrando ritmo capitulo a capitulo. Impresionante historia.

Absolutely pants! Elizabeth Olsen is great but are all middle aged Americans that ugly! Plus I don't do religious, to this degree anyway. Disappointed. Plugged hard on ITVX but not worth my time.

Elizabeth Olsen can't save this show from being boring.

Love & Death - 8/10. Another miniseries about a true crime story. This time, its the second go around of the Candy Montgomery story. I haven't watched the Jessica Biel version, so I have no way of knowing which of the two is better. But, this miniseries is solidly held together and uplifted by an incredibly damaged Elizabeth Olsen. This feels like an offshoot of the Wandavision performance, and she really makes this show better than it should be. It gets shaky near the middle, but its the last episode and the performances of Olsen and Tom Pelphrey, who plays her lawyer, that really buoys this show to a better landing. Good and at times dark show!

A glossy take on this horrific story and where the "Candy" show struggles towards its end, "Love & Death" brilliantly takes you to the edge of your seat until the last minute thanks to a great casting and clever writing. A must see !

The Hulu version was waaaay better
-
Tienes que darle algunos capítulos para que agarre forma, ponen un tono de normalidad y cotidianidad para que tenga un giro de tuerca que te vuele los sesos. Elizabeth Olsen hace un trabajo excelente como siempre.

A stellar lead performance by Elizabeth Olsen involving great subtlety, sincere sweetness, sexuality, and long pent-up frustrations is the centerpiece in this adaptation of the Montgomery/Gore case. Its her work alongside standouts Plemmons, Ritter, Rabe and Fugit that bring authenticty to the series, portraying empathy, shock and bewilderment, fear, frustration along with their time just living the day to day lives of small town America. 4 stars

I like how Love & Death camouflages as anything but a true crime series for the first few episodes (other than the flashforward we see at the start of the series, of course). Yes, it's supposed to set up the antecedent to the unfortunate incident and build up the story, but the series just has a lighter and less unsettling tone than when the conflict sets in motion. I think it gives the subsequent events a little bit more shock value and embodies the suddenness with which things change for Candy Montgomery. I love the fact that the series is a slow-burner, every piece of the story fits snuggly in the narrative and plot points are ironed out properly. If I ever doubted Elizabeth Olsen's acting prowess, having only seen her in one other role so far, those doubts are far out the window by now. She undoubtedly shines in this show and brings a certain eeriness to the character. The funny part is, you're not scared of Candy. She's just a mysterious character whose mind you want to get inside of. You can't expect anything less than quality from such an ensemble cast; everybody else pretty much delivers in their respective roles. The production value of the show is evident in almost everything (HBO, duh); the quality writing, cinematography, beautifully detailed dated sets and costumes, and even the soundtrack. There's a lot to like about this adaptation. Feel free to satisfy your true-crime appetite with this one.
