Mare of Easttown
2021 · 1 Season · HBO · Crime Drama
Mare of Easttown is a masterclass in how to do a limited series right: a murder at the center, a community threaded around it, and a lead performance that makes everything feel urgent and real. Kate Winslet is extraordinary, the Delaware County setting feels lived-in and specific, and the finale carries genuine emotional weight. A few subplot missteps don't change the fact that this is exactly what prestige TV is capable of at its best.
