HBO has now rebranded as "MAX" for some idiotic reason and have been the joke of the PR world for this misstep, but I have got to hand it to them- Love&Death is a true winner.
The stellar production quality is on par with what the network previously know as HBO has always been known for...
It's whimsical and dramatic with a little suspense tied in.
Elizabeth Olsen shines, she's such a gem and this was her best work.
Minus two stars only because they could've done a little more editing to trim the fat. The pace could be much more enjoyable had this been 6 episodes.
There were some unnecessary down times that weren't needed (why did they even show the Kentucky funeral scene, or long talks between candy & pat at the end in the middle of the exciting trial?)
However the story is fascinating and this cast did brilliant at conveying one of the most famous trials of the century.
