Amour et mort

I think this program would have been good no matter who played the starring role. Based on a true story, great acting, directing, cinematography, and music. I loved the music.

But I agree with other reviewers here at IMDB, I can never take my eyes off the screen when Elizabeth Olsen is on. I've only seen her in Avenger movies, Wandavision, and now this. She even plays a bad person in this. But still, she is gorgeous and a great actress. She has star power.

I binge watched all the episodes from beginning to end. I was riveted. I don't see how it could have been done any better.

10 out of 10 for me.

It's not Law and Order but it is taken from actual events which you might not believe until you see the credits. It is one of those series that sucks you in from the very start a n d does not disappoint. For reference if you have seen it ,Under the Banner of Heaven would be a good comparison and that series was just as good as this one. Elizabeth Olsen will just blow you away with the way she just becomes the character. The writing, acting and direction and performances are absolute top notch. Ask yourself how much time and effort do you put into finding 'content' worth watching ?

HBO, now MAX ,doesn't drop a complete series all at once which I didn't realize when I first started watching this one and when I had to wait for the next episode, I couldn't wait.

10 thousand times better than Wicker Tree that I just finished on starz avoid that movie! Anyway this is really good I even watched Candy on Hulu I'm pretty sure that was last year so this is similar I'd say Love & Death is even better. Elizabeth Olsen is most known in the marvel universe and I very much enjoy her in Ingrid Goes West. Been meaning to watch this mini series a couple months I just kept having health complications, lately I've finally felt amazing this is amazing too all around with directing, astonishing acting and intriguing throughout. On top of everything else this great mini series about Candy, affairs and crimes is nominated for a couple Emmy's, I love catching up on worthy nominees.

I couldn't figure out why it felt like I had seen this before until it dawned on me that this is the same story covered by Candy. So far I think I liked Candy better because Jessica Biel is always so captivating, but the previews for Love and Death look like it will go into the aftermath whereas Candy didn't (if I remember correctly). This is a slow burn so far, but the acting is great - especially Elizabeth Olsen. I find her captivating to watch, too. I appreciate that the sex aspect wasn't really focused on as much, it feels more realistic than salacious that way. This really is a story about relationship dynamics and the focus is represented appropriately. I look forward to seeing the rest and will update my rating after it is complete.

Jesse Plemons is a very underrated actor. He never fails to deliver a good performance. He is not as good as Elizabeth Olsen, but he is good. Elizabeth Olsen is fantastic. Her range is great and she makes this character very believable and sympathetic. Every time she is on screen it's hard to look away. Whatever she does is interesting. Is this the year she wins her well deserved Emmy? This performance could be the difference.

Like every other show from HBO, the visuals are amazing. The sets and the visual effects are spotless. Even if you find the story uninteresting I'm sure you could watch this show just because it's so beautiful to look at.
