T8 WHATS UP! April 23 - 29, 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 mini- series "Love & Death" when it premieres its first three episodes on HBO Max Thursday, April 27. The remaining episodes air weekly on Thursdays. A fiction- alized retelling of the brutal 1980 murder of Betty Gore (portrayed in the series by Lily Rabe, "Shrinking"), "Love & Death" follows the events leading up to her death and the not-so-inno- cent lives of her fellow Texan friends and neighbors. After Betty is murdered with an axe in her own home, and the police determine that she likely knew her killer personally, accusing eyes quickly turn to her hus- band, Allan (Jesse Plemons, "The Power of the Dog," 2021), and then to her close friend, Candy Montgomery (Elizabeth Olsen, "WandaVision"), with whom her husband was having an affair. As the investigation digs deeper, dark secrets begin to bubble up to the surface. From writer/executive producer Da- vid 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 Atkinson, John Bloom and Joe Bob Briggs, as well as a col- lection of articles from Texas Monthly ("Love & Death in Sili- con Prairie," Part I and II). "Love & Death" also stars Patrick Fugit ("Treadstone"), Krysten Ritter ("Jessica Jones"), Keir Gilchrist ("It's Kind of a Funny Story," 2010), Elizabeth Marvel ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"), Mackenzie Astin ("The Facts of Life"), Olivia Grace Applegate ("Driven"), Fabiola Andújar ("Hit & Run"), Kira Pozehl ("American Crime"), Ryan Mur- phy ("Hypnotic," 2023), Harper Heath ("Forever and a Day," 2022) and Amelie Dallimore ("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 "Citadel," premiering on the Amazon streaming platform Friday, April 28. Eight years before the begin- ning 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, shadowy syndicate called Manticore. During the fall, elite Citadel agents Mason Kane (Richard Madden, "Game of Thrones") and Nadia Sinh (Priyanka Chopra Jonas, "Quan- tico") narrowly escaped with their lives but had their memo- ries wiped in the process. Now, as Manticore is trying to estab- lish a new world order, a col- league 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 dig- ging 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 show- runner 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).
