Mare of Easttown shares similarities with other gloomy crime dramas and specifically referenced True Detective. However, following the second episode, there is another show Mare draws a more obvious comparison to, and that’s Broadchurch, the popular British serial that also revolved around a murder in a small, close-knit community. There are clear surface similarities: a female police detective tasked with interrogating close friends and acquaintances, the male investigator brought in t...

I stand by my opinion that there are too many detective dramas. There are far too many more detective dramas dealing specifically with the gruesome deaths of young women. The new, Kate Winslet-led drama on HBO Max, Mare of Easttown, is one of these dramas. And yet, unlike so many other tired tales of borderline alcoholic cops and brutalized teenagers, it harnesses the stereotype to tell a bolder, smarter story, rather than regurgitating the same police propaganda we’ve had forced down our t...

HBO has a new sheriff in town on Sunday nights. In Mare of Easttown, which premieres April 18 and runs for seven weeks, Kate Winslet returns to TV for the first time in a decade to play Mare, a detective in a fictional small Pennsylvania town. Mare is a well-known hometown hero, but the unsolved case of her high school classmate’s missing daughter has already begun to erode her professional reputation when tragedy strikes another young girl in the close-knit area. What begins as a story of...

Short, HBO Mare Sheehan has a big, chilly chip on her shoulder, the result of several years of bad choices and overall misfortune. Twenty-five years ago, back in high school, she hit the winning shot in a Pennsylvania state championship basketball game. That was her peak. Now she’s a much-maligned police detective, mourning her son’s death, q...

Fans of the regional, character-driven mysteries of Dennis Lehane such as “Mystic River” and “Gone Baby Gone” should make time for HBO’s excellent “Mare of Easttown” as it shares a similar tone regarding the ripple effect of crime on a small town. Fans of HBO literary mystery adaptations like “Sharp Objects,” “Big Little Lies,” and “The Undoing” should do the same. The truth is that anyone with HBO needs to add this to their weekly schedule as it’s the first true mus...

Mare of Easttown trailer below. Mare of Easttown Trailer  I’m excited for  Mare of Easttown, which has a great cast and, now, a pretty good trailer! That said, I sure wish someone, somewhere, had suggested a better title. It just sounds…off. It makes me think of  Eastbound and Down, and the use of “Mare” just immediately makes me picture a horse, and I’m pretty neither of those things are what the showrunners of  Mare of Easttown were going for. Even just simply calling it  Eastt...
