Elizabeth Olsen’s gruesome thriller based on a true story that is going to hit HBO Max

elizabeth olsen has done it again: after saving Marvel’s ‘Phase 4’ in the shoes of the almighty Wanda Maximoff in Scarlet Witch and Vision, The Californian promises to obsess you for another year on the small screen with Love & Death, the gruesome domestic thriller of HBO Max, based on an amazing true case.

The fiction, which has seven episodes and reaches the platform on April 27, tells the true story of Candy and Pat Montgomery and Betty and Allan Gore, two couples who go to church and enjoy their lives in a small Texas town… until an extramarital affair leads someone to pick up an axe.

Jesse Plemons, Lily Rabe, Patrick Fugit, Krysten Ritter, Tom Pelphrey, Keir Gilchrist and Elizabeth Marvel complete the cast of what promises to be the HBO Max phenomenon this spring, written by david e kelley (Big Little Lies) and directed by Lesli Linka Glatter.

As the preview shows, the story on which the series is based is completely bizarre. Olsen plays Candy Montgomery, a Texan housewife convicted of murdering her neighbor and her friend Betty with an ax after having an affair with her husband and falling in love with him.

The series, signed by the creators of Big Little Lies and with the incentive of being a real event, it has everything in its hands to become another success of the VOD service, which has already started this 2023 breaking records with The Last of Us and now he’s hunting for prizes with the latest season of Succession.

Love & Death, In addition, it belongs to that mystery fiction with a markedly feminine gaze that is so good at the platform; This has been demonstrated in similar and acclaimed bets such as the one already mentioned Big Little Lies or the most recent Mare of Easttown. And, to top it all off, it features Olsen, one of the most in-demand and celebrated actresses in Hollywood.

In the absence of enjoying the bet, everything indicates that HBO Max will once again be confirmed as the home of the best television production in 2023. We can almost touch the Emmy Awards.
