Mare of Easttown
A very well written TV drama
“Mare of Easttown” is available on Sky/Now, Prime or HBO (depending on where you live), starring Kate Winslet as Detective Marianne “Mare” Sheehan. It’s a miniseries of seven episodes of about an hour each.
I’ll say right away that I really liked it!
The story seems like something I’ve heard before. In a small town where everyone knows everyone, so much so that when they have a problem, even the most trivial, they call Detective Sheehan (known as Mare) directly, instead of the police station, a girl has been missing for over a year and now another one is found dead in the woods.
Mare investigates and does it her own way, not always respecting the rules.
Is there perhaps a connection? Could a serial killer be involved?
This is what you would expect from a classic detective story set in a quiet American town where a crime is committed that shocks everyone.
But “Mare of Easttown” doesn’t fall into this category of TV series. This miniseries tells the story of a woman who has suffered a tragedy and tries to survive by dedicating herself to her work in the police force and therefore to community service. But it also tells the complex stories involving various residents of Easttown, which are intertwined with each other…
