Marvel star Elizabeth Olsen's crime drama series shows first look
The first trailer for HBO Max’s Love And Death is here, providing fans with an eerie first look at Marvel star Elizabeth Olsen as killer Candy Montgomery.
Based on the book Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs and a collection of articles in Texas Monthly titled Love & Death in Silicon Prairie, the new crime drama tells the true story of how a seemingly sweet homemaker murdered her neighbour.
Olsen stars in the limited series as Candy, who was tried in 1980 for the murder of her neighbour and close friend Betty Gore, the wife of a man she'd been having an affair with.

"Something's been bothering me a little," Candy says in the trailer. "I have done all the things a wife is supposed to do. The house, the meals ... where is the payback?"
It then cuts to Candy eyeing up Allan Gore (played by Jesse Plemons) in church, before she bluntly asks him: "Would you be interested in having an affair?"
We next catch glimpses of Candy and Allan embarking on their affair, but things soon start falling apart for them as the police show up at Allan's house, while another shot sees Candy drenched in blood.

Candy pled self-defence during the trial, claiming she used the same axe Betty had tried to strike her with during a confrontation about her involvement with Allan.
Love and Death is the second TV drama to retell the story, as Jessica Biel starred as the Texan killer in Hulu's Candy just last year.
The first three episodes of Love and Death will be available to stream on HBO Max from April 27, with new episodes dropping weekly until May 25.
