Mare of Easttown
Starring Kate Winslet. Seven episodes begin streaming Sunday (April 18) on Crave.
Mare Of Easttown, HBO’s gritty new murder mystery, is a limited series consisting of seven episodes, five of which were available for critics to review. But its characters and setting are so well-developed and entertaining that I could easily watch another couple of seasons.
Kate Winslet plays the eponymous detective investigating the murder of Erin (Cailee Spaeny), a troubled teenage single mom. Easttown is such a small Pennsylvania town that Mare knows everyone involved in the case, including Erin, her ex-boyfriend and father of their infant son, and Erin’s volatile dad. The night of her murder, Erin was captured on video with some of the town’s other teens, including Mare’s own daughter, Siobhan (Angourie Rice). So whodunnit?
