Candy is the chilling true crime story based on the real-life case of Candy Montgomery – a Texas-based housewife who killed her friend Betty Gore with an axe in 1980. Gory stuff, right?
There most certainly is. If fake smiles and lingering glances send shivers down your spine in a similar way to us, you’ll want to brace yourself for this one.
In the trailer, we see Montgomery lead the kind of life many can only aspire to – popping round to friends’ houses, living with her husband and children in an idyllic little town and singing along in church choir practices. But when we flash to a courtroom scene, a lawyer asks her: “Prior to June 13th, did you like Betty Gore?”
You’d expect the answer to be natural and straight-forward but instead, Montgomery asks: “What do you mean?” Even answering how she’d characterise their relationship, she has to pause: “We were… friends,” she says. As we see scenes of anger, axes, blood and bleach flash by, we get the feeling that this series will be one of the standout true crime dramas of the year – we can’t wait.originally aired on Hulu in the US and it’s now been confirmed that it will be released on Disney+ for UK viewers on 12 October.
