The show’s cool detachment becomes more confusing the further we get into the trial.
’s entry into the courtroom feels like the time the show should start pulling together its dramatic threads, tying them into the single purpose of exploring Candy Montgomery’s normal-looking but deeply disturbed world. But “The Big Top,” the penultimate episode of the miniseries, feels more diffuse than ever, an appropriately circus-y menagerie of points already made and developments that sometimes feel as if they’re coming from nowhere in particular.
At jury selection, a still-cocksure Don makes a startling announcement that, oh, yeah, Candy totally did kill Betty. It was self-defense, though! Stay tuned for more, he promises! Because Candy herself will be taking the stand! It’s a showboating preview disguised as close-to-the-vest modesty and introduces some more who-me hype into the trial, which will shortly cause additional friction with Judge Ryan.
Or maybe this is the show’s misguided attempt to imitate Candy’s vaguely narcotized state. Most of the trial seems to favor her, but the sheer volume of wounds on Betty’s body and blood at the crime scene makes Candy’s “40 whacks” of self-defense seem dubious. In other words, the outcome may well depend on the jury’s personal opinion of Candy, which is why Don is so frustrated about her Serax intake.
