When it comes to TV mysteries such as "Mare of Easttown," "Cruel Summer" or "The Undoing," an excess of plot twists can separate a good show from a great one.
Mare of Easttown was always intended to be a limited series (and it will compete in that category at the Emmys). However, it wouldn t be the first limited series on HBO to get another season, since Big Little Lies already paved that path.
And the show is called Mare of Easttown, after all; the title isn t tied to the first season s central case (not even Murdur Durdur ). Creator Brad Ingelsby is open to exploring a second season. It was written as a limited, and it ends there’s no more mystery to be solved. Kate and I, if we could crack a story that we were really proud of and felt like it was a deserving second chapter in Mare’s journey, then maybe, he told The Hollywood Reporter.

This is a discussion of the final episode of this season of Mare of Easttown.
You absolutely should not read it if you don t want to know what happened, as that s what it s about.
There was so much speculation about the mysteries of HBO s
Mare of Easttown that it seemed like no matter what the ending was, it would be something that someone guessed at some point. There were only so many characters, and it (fortunately) didn t seem like the kind of show that would pull in a random new murderer at the end, just for the sake of making sure none of the online guesses had been right.
