Love & Death tells the unbelievable true story of Candy Montgomery, a 1980s Texas housewife accused of murder. Despite a loving family, a picture-perfect home, and an active presence at church, Candy is unable to shake her sense of suburban ennui. After an unexpectedly charged moment with fellow church member Allan Gore, Candy finds just the risk-taking thrill that's been missing from her life. Their ensuing, meticulously strategized affair unfolds mostly as planned – until their respective spouses, Pat and Betty, each discover their secret… and someone picks up an axe. |

I’m pretty sure this is the same true crime story as Hulu’s “Candy”, excellently cast with Jessica Biel, Melanie Lynskey, and Pablo Schreiber. So far, I’m getting the impression that “Candy” is the better watch. We’ll see.
Update: This is just as good with a slightly different interpretation. Also with an excellent cast
You are right.
I think it’s a little too soon for a remake.
Loved the first episode , Great acting from Elizabeth Olsen ! :D
