Easttown is a close-knit community outside of Philadelphia. It's a place where tragedy and drugs have been weighting on its people. Yet they survive. Police Detective Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet) has been under pressure to solve the case of a friend's missing daughter for the past year. Another girl ends up dead and Mare is given the case.
This is the era of the tragic small town murder mystery. It's the Broadchurch subgenre except in this one, the whodunnit element is almost subservient to the emotional intra-family relationships. It's a big time star doing a specific accent and a cast of great actors contributing great characters. Other standout performances include Julianne Nicholson, Jean Smart, and Evan Peters. It's the personal connections and specific characterizations. SNL did a fun sendup which almost killed me. It's probably going to be a limited series. It would be hard to gather the cast again and the story wraps up almost perfectly. Mare could do more adventures but it would be hard for it to be as personal as this one.

Kate Winslet is an outstanding actress and the other actors are right at her level! The storylines are intriguing and have kept me tuning in each week. BRAVO HBO! I really appreciate how Kate portrays REAL WOMEN - the good, the bad, the ugly - without apologies or compromises.
Mare of East Town is an excellent character study. Kate Winslet is superb. She is thoroughly committed to her role. Kate is walking a Tightrope of being a character that is a bit too brash to like on the surface. But this is where her brilliance as an actress shines through. She adds a depth , both standoffish and sympathetic. Whinslet adds just a touch of wry humor and in the end it wins you over and I identify with her troubled and bruised character. I honestly can say I've never seen here in a gritty role like this before. The writing is very well done that helps the entire ensemble in this limited series. I have a strong feeling this is going to be an engaging mystery , drama HBO has come up with . I would say it's definitely worth checking out.
I definitely wasn't expecting to like Mare of Easttown as much as I did. The trailers for it just looked ok and Kate Winslet is always good in everything she does but I still put it off because it only looked ok. I was wrong. It was better than ok, it was flat out good. I was bored and looking for something new to watch and heard nothing but good things about this series and so I finally started watching it. Once I started I couldn't stop, I binged all seven episodes over the course of a weekend. I know it was only suppose to be a one season miniseries but I've read that because it did so well that they might do another season. I hope they do and this time I won't put it off for so long.
I literally watched all 7 episodes in 1 day. Then, after it had all ended, I didnt know what to do with my life.
This series is a masterpiece! The writing is brilliant, the story is so good and the acting is second to none. This is a slow burner that will keep you captivated till the very end. Absolutely amazing.

- TriviaAccording to director Craig Zobel, Kate Winslet was the only actor confident enough to go back to her native accent in between takes; every other actor was terrified to let it go. For the cast and crew, witnessing Winslet immediately switch from a Delco accent to her normal English accent nonchalantly was an astonishing sight.
