Fly away forever, Lady Hawk. Limp off into the Philly sunset, mardy Mare, and donât look back. Leave your triumphant drama as a one-and-done deal.Â
No sooner had viewers emitted contented sighs at this weekâs note-perfect Mare Of Easttown finale than speculation began mounting about a potential second season of the hit Pennsylvanian police procedural. To my mind, though, trying to recapture the Mare magic would be a mistake.
Unfolding over seven slow-burning weeks to become one of the standout dramas of 2021 so far, Mare Of Easttown was indisputably great. Thereâs only one way to ensure it stays that way â and thatâs by it never returning.Â

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.
