Entertainment Now | April 22 - 28, 2023 By Raye Smith TV Media WHAT'S NEW ON HBO MAX "Love & Death" The line between love and be- trayal gets blurred in the new seven-episode true crime minise- ries "Love & Death" when it pre- mieres its first three episodes on HBO Max Thursday, April 27. The remaining episodes air weekly on Thursdays. A fictionalized retell- ing of the brutal 1980 murder of Betty Gore (portrayed in the se- ries by Lily Rabe, "Shrinking"), "Love & Death" follows the events leading up to her death and the not-so-innocent lives of her fellow Texan friends and neighbors. After Betty is mur- dered with an axe in her own home, and the police determine that she likely knew her killer per- sonally, accusing eyes quickly turn to her husband, Allan (Jesse Plemons, "The Power of the Dog," 2021), and then to her close friend, Candy Montgomery (Elizabeth Olsen, "WandaVi- sion"), with whom her husband was having an affair. As the inves- tigation digs deeper, dark secrets begin to bubble up to the surface. From writer/executive producer David E. Kelley ("Big Little Lies") and director Lesli Linka Glatter ("Homeland"), the series is in- spired by the book "Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs" by Jim At- kinson, John Bloom and Joe Bob Briggs, as well as a collection of articles from Texas Monthly ("Love & Death in Silicon Prairie," Part I and II). "Love & Death" also stars Patrick Fugit ("Tread- stone"), Krysten Ritter ("Jessica Jones"), Keir Gilchrist ("It's Kind of a Funny Story," 2010), Eliza- beth Marvel ("Law & Order: Spe- cial Victims Unit"), Mackenzie As- tin ("The Facts of Life"), Olivia Grace Applegate ("Driven"), Fa- biola Andújar ("Hit & Run"), Kira Pozehl ("American Crime"), Ryan Murphy ("Hypnotic," 2023), Harper Heath ("Forever and a Day," 2022) and Amelie Dalli- more ("Honey: Us," 2021). WHAT'S NEW ON PRIME VIDEO "Citadel" - Season 1 The future of civilization hangs in the balance in the new Prime Video original series "Cit- adel," premiering on the Ama- zon streaming platform Friday, April 28. Eight years before the beginning of the story, Citadel — an independent global spy agency tasked with upholding the safety and security of all people — fell, destroyed by the operatives of a powerful, shad- owy syndicate called Manticore. During the fall, elite Citadel agents Mason Kane (Richard Madden, "Game of Thrones") and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Cho- pra Jonas, "Quantico") narrowly escaped with their lives but had their memories wiped in the pro- cess. Now, as Manticore is trying to establish a new world order, a colleague from their past seeks out their help to stop Manticore once and for all. As Mason and Nadia reunite to stop the syndi- cate, they'll have to try desper- ately to dig up as many memo- ries from their past lives as they can — even though it means digging up the secrets and lies of their complicated past in the process. From Amazon Studios and the Russo Brothers' AGBO, the series is helmed by showrun- ner David Weil ("Hunters") and directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo ("The Gray Man," 2022), Bryan Kirk ("21 Bridges," 2019) and Newton Thomas Sigel ("Bohemian Rhapsody," 2018).
