Barbara Hershey did it better!
Skip this overworked, drawn-out, joke of a mini-series and watch the 1990 movie version of the same real life murder: "A Killing in a Small Town" starring Barbara Hershey. Hershey won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Candice Morrison.
Seems like most reviewers for "Candy" are enamored with Jessica Biel's beauty, but she plays this more like a dark comedy, so it was hard to get through all five episodes because I couldn't take her seriously. Plus, Lee Garlington brought an extra creepiness to her portrayal of Betty/Peggy, so that laundry room scene with the axe was incredibly tense. I cannot believe this "Candy" version has a 7.2 rating, it was horrible.
