Actors Elizabeth Olsen and Jesse Plemons team up in ‘Love and Death,’ a dramatic new true crime series that tells the story of two small town Texas families who seemingly have everything together until an affair leads someone to pick up an axe. “Playing characters that make questionable decisions is something I actually enjoy,” Olsen quips.

Love this series, they're both extremely talented

[@adeleforpresident_]

It’s not possible to not love Lizzie

[@emilxert]

Mommy

[@2034916]

Great actress.

[@RyguyAlpha]

Wow, Jesse lost a bunch of weight since filming the miniseries. I almost didn’t recognize him.

[@mustafajawad7356]

I’m always with shows based on true stories, this one is so awesome, watching episode 4 and can’t wait for more

[@tristan8172]

Love jesse plemons so much, hope to see him in more and more shows/movies

[@calpurniabruchi5742]

He gives me the creeps, lol

[@rsingh2595]

he was great in Fargo playing the younger bro.

[@shelbydriscoll9219]

Wow he looks so much better now! I always wondered why he got so big after breaking bad… just thought it was him aging and eating a lot but now he looks great and so young again! Good for him!

[@Londoamerica]

She’s so talented

[@blesseddanzy8552]

The music in the show is amazing!

[@NormaLilia24]

Amazing series!!! I finished it yesterday and I’m so thankful to have just watched it without knowing what it was about, so many surprises

[@delrey874]

All the cast members were excellent in this show.

[@reneerichardsonbooks]

Lol I love how subtly annoyed Lizzie was toward the end.

[@Mr21scott]

Not so subtly...

[@M.j.327]

Lol ya it must be annoying to get asked Marvel questions in interviews she's doing about all the other projects she's put hard work into

[@StaminaMC]

The question almost always comes, and to an extent it's fair enough… but IMO these lot were kinda dickish about it, labouring the point for WAY too long fishing for a scoop; it was annoying to watch and listen to from this seat also. They shoulda just asked one quickly and kept it movin'.

[@benjaminroman916]

@@M.j.327 She have mentioned she was looking forward to get into more complex characters but that wasn't possible while locked in with Marvel. Pretty sure she doesn't want to be boxed into the Scarlet Witch. Reporters are so annoying.

[@M.j.327]

@benjaminroman916 yeah, I agree

[@thokozilengeva9795]

What an intriguing, intense series 👌 always shows based on true stories 💯 they sure both killed it 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheAdidasKnifer]

Cant wait for this show to drop Elizabeth olsen is coming for that Emmy this is the year of the lizzie and this coming from a lizzie stan as well

[@missm8540]

loved this version the other never caught my attention...had no Idea it was the same as Hulu LOL great actors made it so much more interesting!!!!!

[@yvonneshanson1525]

I knew she was a stellar talent since I saw MMMM, but I couldn't believe my eyes seeing her performance in this series .!!! No words can describe how brilliant a job she's done with the part ! Congratulations 💌👏 (To think that talentless Sc Johansson has 2 academy noms for pouting on screen and elizabeth so underrated..)

[@addisonwidelski9841]

All love for Lizzie but don't be docking scarjo like that

[@melr3079]

Just finished binging this, it’s brilliant!

Love and Death is literally the only reason I'm still subscribed to HBO Max.

[@brittanystevieg7734]

Same here!

[@SuperEdge67]

She’s stunning.

[@Psyclonus7]

He's back to Todd weight! He looks so much better!

[@nightbirdgames]

Yeah he looks good. Curious why they didn't ask him to get back to that weight in El Camino, but I wasn't that bothered.

[@BTTFMovie]

@@nightbirdgames He was probably shooting something else around the same time.

[@junesmith4159]

I’m sure he feels better too. I was shocked when I saw how heavy he had gotten.

[@ariannahcoronado9602]

i know it’s probably their job but i am begging interviewers to s t o p asking about her status with Marvel & if they’ll bring Wanda back while she is quite literally interviewing on behalf of another show??? She is so talented and has done so many different things, I love Wanda as much as the next person but it’s probably so awkward for her and her costars just sitting there??? It’s such an over asked question too! Be more interesting!!

[@eggoozEATS]

true, shes more than just wanda and interviewers need to recognize!

[@yvonneshanson1525]

👏👏

[@kw4rvl128]

wanda will come back, stop lizzie😩

[@gabelogan5877]

Jesse Plemons lossed a massive amount of weight. I almost didn't recognize him

[@robaer8d]

It's Matt Damon

[@isagcolsa]

HI MOM🥰

[@veendace3195]

I’ll watch this, … Hulu did a series called Candy about the same series of events. Jessica Biel played Candy

[@calpurniabruchi5742]

I know right, that was pretty good too. Lol I loved the Kiwi actress in it, sorry I'm getting a blank on her name but this has already been done

[@veendace3195]

Melanie Lynskey ?

2:57 Off the top of my head, Lucas Hedges would probably do a good job as Jesse Plemons

[@therealenriqueparra]

I love Lizzie!!

[@Bat_Boy]

Someone’s on Ozempic.

[@rockymaivia787]

Is this the Todd guy from BB??

[@CharlesVanNoland]

Yes, it's Jesse Plemons, the actor who played Todd on Breaking Bad. Actors play characters, and you will see them in other shows/movies because that's their job.

[@derekg2132]

They already did this with Jessica biel. Why redo it

[@gabriellegarner8268]

Apparently this one was greenlit first, also there are multiple movies, shows, documentaries about other true crime cases. It's just how the world is, you don't like it? Don't watch it. Also, different ways and views of telling this same story. Candy Montgomery 's lawyer said this one is more accurate

[@orlandoigno482]

Plemons finally spat out Todd

[@Happygolucky10110]

She is so over talking about SW but stays so professional

[@jackyan8624]

Did Jesse play black mirror? Was he the software engineer and also the evil captain?

[@UrbanDecayLova247]

Yup, USS Calister I think is the episodes name

[@kingofdubs]

Why would a beautiful woman like her have an affair with him?

[@brittanycharles7290]

Haha i was thinking the same thing. you'd think if someone is gonna risk an affair it'll be with someone that looks a lot better

[@gabriellegarner8268]

Even though thought out it was more of an affair of opportunity I feel

[@micaiahjohannes3339]

Why didn’t they ask him about his weight loss/gain? If it was a woman they certainly would

[@laylaveruska627]

Lov lizzie

[@dankesse8906]

Wanda better come back

Jesse Plemons is the man and Elizabeth Olsen is love...

He looks so different here

[@frankventura9412]

Jesse plemons looks great amazing Weight loss

[@WandasGaySon]

She is lying lol wanda is coming back

[@StaminaMC]

She's not. Wanda coming back is another matter entirely, though - it'd be objectively STUPID for her not to be brought back.

[@CrazyBeyfulSarah]

If Paul walker (rip) and Jesse plemons had a kid it would be Will Poulter

[@lisabrock8351]

Jesse looks like he has been on ozempic, he has never been thin.

[@thecluckingassassin]

He was thin on breaking bad

[@ileanaaa]

Haha

[@DiabolicalTea]

MOTHERRRRRR

[@Aepresleyy]

MOTHERR

[@artaxerxes360]

So he's actually a fine thin dude eh😂

[@countalucard4226]

Amanda Seyfried wins Emmy for The Dropout, next year it will be EO for Love & Death. Two easy predictions.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Liz, murdering someone is so much more than just ''making questionable decisions''... Candy is not just a character but real person, incomparable to other characters... Hosts, nothing funny about that either.

[@StaminaMC]

Maybe that wasn't the only questionable decision her character made across the runtime of the show… or maybe it was a broader catch-all statement in relation to a few of the roles she's taken on in her career. Either way: not that deep. She's an actor, and creative licence applies to what she's done for this.

[@DeRussellMasina]

Relax! She is a paid performer speaking about the joy she's get from her work & story telling. She is not apart of the REAL LIFE story or events

[@BJ-rd2ih]

Wow he looks so different from losing weight he looks like a completely different man.

[@theopszone6775]

Weight lose on point

[@daveytriplesix4165]

glad to see jesse plemons getting back in shape! they should have made el camino when he is getting back to being fat.

[@alkabirxybakil1284]

Wow I never thought Jesse could be attractive by losing weight.

[@britjj5126]

He's lost a lot of weight

[@hannahboldewijn]

He gained weight for previous roles and got a lot of shade for not having lost enough weight during awardshows

[@robaer8d]

It's Matt Damon

[@MWayne-zz1cr]

Lots of people were whining about his weight in El Camino.

[@robaer8d]

@@MWayne-zz1cr I heard you did

[@SilkyShish]

He was getting fat, which is not healthy at all. I say, good for him for losing the weight. He looks so much younger and healthier now.

[@anons000]

How’d he lose so much weight so fast?

[@kellyharper8072]

Filming had months apart. He’s had time.
