Elizabeth Olsen and Jesse Plemons are oddly mesmerizing as suburbanites fumbling their way through an affair.
Love & DeathThe extramarital affair at the center of the new Max miniseriesshould be completely quotidian: Two fairly unremarkable and mostly well-meaning denizens of suburban Texas, both in long-standing marriages to other people, wind up in bed together as an escape from the frustrations of their stable but not always satisfying regular lives.
The result is an emphasis on formality and practicality: “Shall we set a date for the affair to begin?” Allan asks in “Huntress,” pushing the boundary of believability once they’ve agreed they want to pursue it. Much of the first episode consists of this long lead-up. Candy and Allan don’t just meet to discuss the possibility; they have aof meetings over what seems like several weeks, employing multiple pro-and-con lists and a flip-chart of rules.
But it’s not quite. As Betty grows and gives birth to their second child, she feels increasingly neglected and depressed. Allan agrees to take her to a weekend of Marriage Encounter, a real and extant thing where churchgoing couples are supposed to reconnect and share their feelings. Allan doesn’t confess to his affair, but he shares other feelings with Betty, and their marriage improves.
