To paraphrase Pink Floyd paraphrasing Thoreau, hanging on in quiet desperation is the Texas way. At least that’s the impression we get from Candy‘s second episode, pointedly titled “Happy Wife, Happy Life.” Directed by Jennifer Getzinger (who, like showrunner Robin Veith and premiere director Michael Uppendahl, is a Mad Men alum) from a script by David Matthews (late of the harrowing suburban-horror series Them), it takes us deeper into the lives of Candy Montgomery and Betty Gore, before the former took the life of the latter. Neither woman is happy, but they have very different ways of coping.
I reviewed today’s episode of Candy for Decider.
