Trailer
Emmy-nominee Jessica Biel reunites with the producers of The Sinner for this five-part saga based on the disturbing true crime story of Candy Montgomery (Biel), a seemingly average suburban mum who killed her friend from church Betty Gore (Melanie Lynskey, Yellowjackets) with an axe.

Candy: Miniseries | Reviews
An addictive and disturbing take on the banality of domestic, suburban life with a gruesome true-crime murder at its centre. Jessica Biel – the peppy neighbourhood socialite – and Melanie Lynskey – the put-upon housewife – play fantastic opposites.

Don’t Google the story before you watch. Candy lets the tension build and wisely leaves the details of what happened that terrible day until the fifth episode. Full review Presented in such an uneasy, patient "what lurks beneath suburbia" manner that it makes for an addicting vibe. Full review Candy makes a good case that more true-crime dramas should be about the lead up and the aftermath of an event, not the event itself. Full review (The) series' greatest strength is offering its
own emotional interpretation of a 1980 death rather than trying to offer a definitive version. Full review An unsatisfying telling of a compelling story. Full review Biel and Lynskey are typically phenomenal. Full review True crime fans are sure to find things to appreciate... and fans of cinematic storytelling will appreciate the good cinematography and great performances, but in the end, Candy is a little bit of a mess. Full review All the performances are solid, but "quiet desperation" is a tough mood to maintain over five episodes... Full review Once it catches back up with the murder... Candy starts to show its seams. Full review The framing of Candy is such a disappointment because Biel and Lynskey both do good work within it. Full review The show’s consideration of the suffering that paves the way for murder stand outs in a true-crime genre that too often forgets about the lives behind the horror. Full review Its squandered potential is... frustrating. Full review The performances... are sharp and convincing, and the unexpected turns... make this one of those fact-based productions where the
less you know going in, the better. Full review A fascinating psychological character study... Full review Both Ms. Biel
and Ms. Lynskey are terrific... Full reviewPaste
