British Telly

Thanks this is the first I've heard of this show!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Elizabeth Olsen is outstanding as real-life suburban housewife turned murderer Candy Montgomery – who killed her friend and neighbour Betty Gore with 41 blows from an axe – in this seven-part drama (first streamed on ITVX last year).

Set in 80s Texas, the slow-burn story begins with Candy starting an affair with Betty’s husband Allan (Jesse Plemons) to escape the mundanities of her small-town Methodist life.

Joachim Rønning’s film is an inspirational tale of pluck and resolve, with neither sexism nor jellyfish able to stand in Trudy’s way, and Ridley is well cast: smiling but steely in not taking no for an answer.

But it’s also a brilliantly imagined parade of surreal events, as Polley’s Sally is carried off into worlds of wonder by the Baron (John Neville) – from a moon ruled by a headless Robin Williams to a volcanic encounter with Uma Thurman’s Venus.

The last of the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy (Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz preceded it) provides a suitably apocalyptic finish to Edgar Wright’s genre-spoofing comedies with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

Alongside the Body Snatchers-style goings-on, there’s a dash of pathos as Pegg’s irritating pack leader Gary, eternally immature, is forced to confront his failures as an adult.
