HBO Max's anticipated miniseries is gearing up for its premiere in all of its unfathomable glory, and it is based on actual events. Perfect for fans of true crime documentaries, the fictionalized retelling stars Elizabeth Olsen as Candy Montgomery, a wife and mother who took the life of her close friend, Betty Gore, by stabbing her with an ax 41 times.
