Mare of Easttown

I literally watched all 7 episodes in 1 day. Then, after it had all ended, I didnt know what to do with my life.

This series is a masterpiece! The writing is brilliant, the story is so good and the acting is second to none. This is a slow burner that will keep you captivated till the very end. Absolutely amazing.

Kate Winslet is an outstanding actress and the other actors are right at her level! The storylines are intriguing and have kept me tuning in each week. BRAVO HBO! I really appreciate how Kate portrays REAL WOMEN - the good, the bad, the ugly - without apologies or compromises.

The fact that a Brit mastered the very isolated DelCo accent is incredibly impressive. A very small percentage of Philly suburbanites have that accent and she delivered beautifully.

Now onto the actual storyline. It's meticulously crafted and the characters are so well developed you feel as though you're watching your next door neighbor play a part in a TV show. It doesn't scream Hollywood, which gives it such a real feel that you almost forget you're watching a show and not a documentary. The plot was not exaggerated nor was predictable. I enjoyed every minute. This is a job well done.

They never missed anything. Every single possible detail. Nothing happens without a reason. Not even a single word was wasted. Everything had a reason. In todays' world of tv(steaming) and cinema cliches, here is a story so very well told. The writing I think is pitch perfect. All the leads as well as the not so leads gave more than one hundred percent.

The setting, Easttown, I have seldom seen that kind of adapting an environment than here before. Well done!

I thing it is an Kate Winslet vehicle, all attributes and all those specific attributes unravelling, those have Kate stamp all over. But dont get me wrong, even Kate cannot get to those heights without the support. Possibly Kate's aura made all things streamlined, well ... possibly vice-versa, like for an example, Julianne Nicolson? Some others too ... Guy Pearce, Jean Smart, Thompson, Huff ... a few which comes to my mind. I dont know. The verdict is, "MUST WATCH".

I was never a Winslet fan. Could be my loathing of Titanic that turned me off.

Now it's an unconditional love affair.

Mare of Easttown is brilliant filmmaking on every level.

I'm hooked.
