Elizabeth Olsen's Love & Death Apparently Sympathizes With the Killer

[shangri__la]

Elizabeth Olsen is very good in LOVE & DEATH, an otherwise terrible and tasteless show that ponders the question: what if a suburban housewife deserved to get hacked to death with an axe and her killer was the real victim all along? https://t.co/0Tv1uzWHXr

You'd think that the writers would have an ounce of sympathy for a woman who was viciously murdered while her fucking baby was in the house. The poor child was left for hours wailing in their crib while their mom was dead on the floor but no its the murderer who is the most sympathetic figure. Also, according to the Texas Monthly article, Candy's retelling of the events was heavily guided by repressed memory therapy which is extremely suspect. NGL, I don't believe it was self defense at all.

I was thinking about that poor baby too. This woman's children are still around & have to see this mess. :(

angry react is on behalf of the kids, because that pisses me off for them >:(

Repressed memory therapy, I believe, has been completely thrown out now as an investigative tool, and rightly so. It’s such BS

Here's a link to the Texas Monthly article for anyone who's interested.

As an aside I just need to subscribe to TM. They have such excellent journalism.
