Candy

Tastefully done and decorated, good music that never overplayed it's hand. Felt like a subplot from Mad Men here and there (spare the axe murder) which is a big compliment but also informs my main gripe with it: it might be a little too vacant to be fully invested in for a full 6h miniseries.

Not bad, but just didn't really do it for me. Biel is good but she can't carry the slow pacing and less than lackluster cast.

Okay I'm here for because one and only Jessica Biel. She is a gorgeous throughout first 2 episodes. You feel her grudge, anger, romance, horny behaviour. Her scenes is so strong, almost she one handed carries the Candy. However, Candy has a some negative things like slow pace and complicated flashbacks. I think 1-2-3 act storytelling could have been much more impactful. As long as it goes lowtempo in the following episodes, my score won't increase. However, my rating may up or down later.

Good pace, great storytelling, superb cast. Everything is well motivated, you can really follow the motivation behind the actions. The events themselves, that inspired the series, and you can't really tell what the verdict would be. There is going to be another version by HBO and I just can't imagine it being as good as this one.
