What to Know

Critics Consensus

Grounded by a career-best Kate Winslet, Mare of Easttown's ambitions at times exceed its reach, but its central mystery is supported by such strong sense of place and character it hardly matters.

Bob P @bobpotter50 Jan 31 It's hard to believe foreign actors can get into a mid-atlantic American role this well. Superb acting and script with lots of emotion. Kate Winslet is one of the best actresses of all time. You'll love this series. See more Laurian D @Laurian Jan 31 Superb acting and storytelling. I'm keeping half of a star though because I'm honestly tired of the LGBTQ stuff. At least spare us the graphic scenes for God's sake. See more Amal M @Amooli Jan 22 I can't believe I had not heard of this show before. It was a brilliantly written story which was bought to life by incredible performances. Kate Winslet demonstrated what a talented actress she is and the rest of the cast followed suit. A must watch See more Patrick S @PatrickStruik Jan 11 Absolutely stunning. See more Johny P Dec 17 Kate Winslet is amazing in this series . Never a boring moment . See more diana p @deorl25 Dec 7 Agree with all negative review, surprised some people like it. And is it a requirement in a movie industry to bring gay couple in every series? Her daughter and her sexuality have nothing to do with murder investigation. Just horrible and i am upset that i wasted time. See more Read all reviews
