Love & Death (2023 Creator David E Kelley)

1978. Married (but not to each other) Church folk very deliberately plan to have an affair, which in itself is quite bizarre. They are Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene) and Jesse Plemons and their other halves are Lily Rabe and Patrick Fugit, neither of who seem to care about their spouses at all.

On part three of seven and it's already feeling like it's taking too long to tell the story, which is peppered throughout with montages to MOR music of the time. It's based on true events. 


Kelley was a lawyer who wrote the now rare From the Hip, with Judd Nelson, Elizabeth Perkins and John Hurt, co-written and directed by Bob Clark. This got him into L.A. Law on which he ended up as a producer, and also worked on Dougie Howser and Chicago Hope. He's married to Michelle Pfeiffer.

When I woke up, I found it had finished.
