Yes, it is. The real - life events it's based on add a layer of authenticity. The characters are well - developed, and the story is gripping, making it a great watch.
I'm not sure which specific 'Candy based off a true story' you're referring to. There could be a movie, a book or some other form of media. Maybe it's about a real - life event that involved candy in some way, like a story of a candy - making family business or an incident related to a particular type of candy.
One reason could be the authenticity. Since it's based on a true story, it has a sense of reality that draws the audience in. People are often interested in real - life events, even when they are fictionalized.
