In 1980 in the small town of Wylie, Texas, there was a murder that has produced two limited series in the past year. The latest, "Love & Death" on HBO Max, is produced by 11-time Emmy Award winner David E. Kelley of "Big Little Lies" and stars Elizabeth Olsen as Candy Montgomery, a woman who kills her friend Betty Gore, played by Lily Rabe, after she has an affair with Betty's husband, Allan, played by Jesse Plemons.
Krysten Ritter plays Sherry Clecker, a real person who was a loyal friend to the ax-slinging Candy. Ritter's Sherry adds levity to the dark, tense and suspenseful "Love & Death." "Even when we're doing something that's really dark, I always like to find the flip of that," Ritter shared with me on "Salon Talks."
