A gift unwrapped slowly & how
Just like most of its predecessors in thrillers, set in a nondescript town, the Mare of Easttown, moves at an intentionally languid pace trying to introduce the characters & sub-plots. Once all the pieces are in, the storyline picks up some momentum & tries to keep the suspense going up until the season finale.
With some predictability & suspension of disbelief, it becomes enjoyable. The acting is the best part of the show, with most pivotal characters able to pull it off well, led ably by Kate Winslet as the protagonist. Supporting cast around her does a commendable job too.
I watched it over a span of seven days, being able to take in one episode a day & that made it a palatable watch. Won't suggest binge-watching, but let it slowly build up as you unwrap the layers of story everyday.
Would rate it high in my list of web-series in recent times.
