Whatever he said it would have been the wrong thing.

I am curious if Elizabeth Olsen will get a quarter of the heat for playing Candy Montgomery this year or if people will give it a pass because only one woman was hacked to death with an axe.

[willardwright]

Wasn't that Jessica Biel playing Montgomery? Or are they making yet another adaptation of that murder?

[sassandthecity]

They both are playing/played her. It's like when Drew Barrymore and Alyssa Milano both played Amy Fisher.

[queenursula]

Jessica Biel played her for the Hulu version, Olsen is playing her for the HBO version.

Evan did his job. He isn't the first actor to win or get noticed for playing a real life killer. Won't be the last

okay

[rkylo]

Tell us more

[pikapika217]

no one is disputing that lol

but he could've at the least acknowledged the victims families in a real way

[khays]

glad I never watched this trash

[tralexora]

Not that I was interested anyway but the moment I heard victims' families try to speak out about it, then of course I wouldn't watch.

[funhouse]

I agree with her. OK Evan did a good job acting but the show didn't need to have been made

[peddlestools]

the cult of true crime is truly scary

I wish everyone who watched this show, made this show*, and/or identifies as a murderino to have a bad 2023

*exception for the IATSE crew, I guess. it's the creatives behind the production, the producers, and the actors who deserve to stub their toes every day for the rest of their lives
