I had mental breakdown on the last week and I treated it with show about Jeffrey Dahmer (don't ask). And it was strange experience, because in my mind Evan Peters is so charming dude and now I'm watching show, where he plays asshole.
And after Dahmer's show I started to watch Mare from easttown. It was BIG mistake.
I've been watching Mare of Easttown and i'm obsessed! Kate Winslet is incredibly badass and touching and also I had never really paid attention to Evan Peters before his Dahmer role tbh but damn, he's so fucking adorable in this, I want to pat him on the head every time he appears on screen
MARE OF EASTTOWN (2021): Grim and grubby HBO miniseries starring a de-glamourized Kate Winslet as a Troubled Cop™ struggling with the aftermath of her autistic son's suicide as she investigates the murder of a 17-year-old girl (Cailee Spaeny) that ultimately sends shockwaves through the community and Mare's extended family. Jean Smart appears as Mare's mother, Angourie Rice as her daughter Siobhan, and Guy Pearce as an appealingly weathered writer and teacher with whom Mare strikes up a tentative relationship.
MARE OF EASTTOWN is of those frustrating modern dramas that score in execution, but not in story: The lived-in small-town Pennsylvania mise-en-scène is vivid, the cast looks like real people rather than models, the dialogue is sharp, and the acting is superb (especially Winslet, who is extremely good and remarkably convincing), but it's all in service of a plot that goes nowhere very interesting and isn't ever a very pleasant journey. (Oh, look, there's a creep preying on young sex workers, how novel; here's a surprise incest reveal; etc.)
On top of that, the ultimate solution to the mystery is ridiculous, and it's only revealed after a patience-testing array of false climaxes. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Siobhan is gay (and the only one in town allowed to have any fashion sense), and there's a subplot about her relationship dramas. VERDICT: It's among Winslet's career-best roles, but I kept muttering, "Must we?" with each new plot twist. CWs for abuse, incest, and suicide apply.
