“Love & Death” is set to premiere Thursday on HBO Max (soon to be just “Max”) and is expected to be a strong Emmys player for the cable and streaming platform in the lim…
The true-life crime series created by Emmy winner David E. Kelley tells the story of Texas housewife Candy who, in 1980, following a chance collision on a volleyball court with fellow church choir member Allan , orchestrates an affair between the two married adults. The encounters lead to Candy being accused of murdering Allan’s wife, Betty . The series also stars Patrick Fugit, Keir Gilchrist, Elizabeth Marvel, Tom Pelphrey and Krysten Ritter.
Supporting limited actor has been chiefly a category that seems only assured for Paul Walter Hauser from another true crime series, “Black Bird,” for his terrifying portrayal of serial killer Larry Hall. But, again, Plemons put Allan’s awkward movement and mannerisms to the forefront, playing expertly off Olsen’s dedicated go-for-broke performance, with the two using the absurdity of how the affair of the two Texans transpired as the foundation that garners far more humor than you’d expect.
Plemons has netted two Emmy noms thus far — supporting actor for FX’s “Fargo” in 2016 and lead actor for Netflix’s “USS Callister” episode of “Black Mirror.” A third nom seems nearly assured with this campaign push. The 35-year-old is one of Hollywood’s most dependable and respected actors, and two years ago nabbed his first Oscar nom for “The Power of the Dog” in best supporting actor.
The episode titles, writers and directors are listed below. All Emmy submissions are subject to change.Episode 4: “Do No Evil”
