Candy (Season 1)

Candy (2022) is a Hulu true-crime miniseries you can watch online on iFILM, inspired by a Texas murder case that shocked a suburban Methodist community in the summer of 1980. Candy Montgomery looks, from every angle, like the ideal housewife — church volunteer, devoted mother, dependable neighbour.

Then Betty Gore is found dead in her laundry room. Forty-one axe blows. And the suspect is the woman everyone trusted. Jessica Biel plays Candy, Melanie Lynskey is Betty; Pablo Schreiber and Justin Timberlake round out the ensemble. The five-episode series circles the crime from multiple angles before revealing what went on behind closed doors — and why a jury struggled with the answer.

It is the kind of case where the facts are on record, yet the more you learn, the less certain you feel. Stream all episodes of Candy online on iFILM.
