I couldn’t get enough of the interactions between them. The characters that we meet in town are hilarious and unique. I loved the premise of a bunch of ex-pro football guys moving in on this small Texas town. When Pat’s dad, Tank Graham, buys a town, Pat is initially against it, but quickly gets on board when he discovers the girl that got away lives in the town. I fell in love with not only the people in this one, but also the little town of Sheet Cake. Clair, and I just loved her writing! She makes the characters feel authentic with situations that really could happen. Any future drama would likely be fabricated.This is my first book by Emma St. The lives of its principal characters are not widely documented following the trial. If the series were to continue the storyline, it would be doing so without much source material. HBO itself has only referred to Love & Death as a “limited series,” meaning it will likely run for one season only. There has been no announcement yet for a second season. (You can read about the real-life trial in the 1984 Texas Monthly article “ Love and Death in Silicon Prairie, Part II: The Killing of Betty Gore,” itself taken from the book Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs by John Bloom and Jim Atkinson.)īut while the trial may wrap up events in the case and the source material for the HBO series, will it mark the end of the show? Will Love & Death get a Season 2? The jury found Candy not guilty, evidently swayed by both testimonies. On the stand, Candy said Gore had also used the phrase and that Candy had “freaked out.” Through hypnosis, Fason reportedly helped Candy unpack moments of emotional trauma, dating back to age 4, when her mother did indeed “shhh” Candy. Fred Fason, a psychologist and hypnotist, to testify in Candy’s defense. The real-life case of Candy Montgomery proceeded in a similar manner with attorney Don Crowder enlisting Dr. Fred Fason as a dissociative event, was a description evidently bought by the jury and deemed sufficient enough of a defense to find Candy not guilty. The psychotic break, described in another testimony by Dr. Candy Montgomery (Elizabeth Olsen) details the events of her rampage killing of Getty Gore, which included an ax carried by Gore into the living room, a bout of wrestling, and a trigger-“shhhh”-that sent Candy into such a rage as to repeatedly strike Gore. HBO’s Love & Death concludes in the courtroom. The following contains spoilers for Love and Death Season 1.
