      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. Read critic reviews

      Audience Reviews for Mare of Easttown: Limited Series

      • Sep 11, 2023
        Arranco con la tremenda actuación de Kate y de una historia que te atrapa episodio a episodio.
      • Sep 08, 2023
        Kate Winslet is absolutely wonderful in this. A must-watch for her fans or for anyone who just appreciates great acting.
      • Jun 24, 2023
        Winslet is fantastic in this series which is much more than a murder mystery. It's also a touching human drama on loss, secrets and connections within a small community. One of 2021's best tv shows.
      • May 31, 2023
        This is one of those series that you will either really like or not. However if its "not", I'm confused as to what you've been watching... There is an amazing ensemble cast, with some powerhouse performances. Kate Winslet is absolutely brilliant as a troubled detective, with an awfully complex, broken family. Evan Peters joins in as a detective with a slight "know it all" attitude but also genuinely wants to help out. Add to that a strangely enigmatic character who floats in and out, in the shape of Guy Pearce, this could've been formulaic and boring BUT no, it isn't! Lots of twists and turns and "WTF" moments bring this short series round to a surprising conclusion. We really need a second season! Mare is a great character.

        This was EXCELLENT! Chef's kiss! Kate & Jean are ROYALTY!
      • May 16, 2023
        Disclaimer: this perspective and opinion comes from someone who has been a Kate Winslet fan (and crushed on her) since he first saw the 1997 James Cameron epic "Titanic". Written by Brad Ingelsby and directed by Craig Zobel, the plot may seem like a mix of the McConaughey-Harrelson season of "True Detective" and "Big Little Lies"– maybe not so intense as the former, but surely dark at some points. But that's the interesting thing about "Mare Of Easttown" – it revolves around this generally laid back town where everyone seems to know each other, and Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet) a weathered detective and divorced grandmother who seems to be running away and hiding from the weight of expectations that the town and her family has of her. There's a strange warmth and comfort in the background, as the protagonist deals with her demons whilst trying to crawl out from a dark place she has slid into. Already dogged by an unsolved case of a missing girl – the daughter of a childhood friend, Mare finds herself in a situation where a young mother is murdered brutally. The skeptical police chief feels the pressure from his bosses and has to call in a young, county detective (Evan Peters) to assist Mare with the murder. On the side, a relatively unknown stranger in town (Guy Pearce) takes a romantic interest in Mare, who also relents in an attempt to raise herself from rock bottom. So who's up to these gruesome acts? Is it a serial killer or just some pervert on the loose? To be honest, the generous sprinkling of characters of various ages, histories and baggage in such a plot seems a deliberate ploy to add mystery to the viewer's mind – especially when some of those characters don't really have a key role to play in the goings on. But Kate Winslet is to watch out for in this layered role. With a million entities orbiting her – a nosy and still protective mother, a distant daughter, the ghost of a dead son, an estranged husband and so much more, she marches on, holding on to the one thing that seems to keep her in the light; her responsibility as a police detective. The ensemble including Angourie Rice, Evan Peters, Jean Smart and Julianne Nicholson bring the adequate depth to Mare's world – so does Guy Pearce. Sosie Bacon as the mother of Mare's grandson has some strong moments. "Mare Of Easttown" is an ode to all the women toughing it out in a rugged, still patriarchal world. And indeed it is the seasoned and experienced Kate Winslet's ride all the way. If you haven't been an admirer before, this show is most certainly going to sway your perception.
      • Feb 12, 2023
        I love Kate Winslet who gave a great performance once again. Great story and great acting; what more could you ask for.
      • Feb 10, 2023
        Too often have season-long cop dramas mismanaged their time and required their characters to be myopic, stupid or plain bad police as a means to fill out a full ten-episode order. Mare is a breath of fresh air in that regard, using all seven episodes to their full potential without sacrificing quality in the form of torrents of red herrings and tone-deaf investigations. Outside of its excellent pacing exist its handful of excellent performances that further sell the premise and Easttown as a whole. Jean Smart and Evan Peters shine even with Kate Winslet's titular role as a disenchanted former High School basketball star turned lead detective stealing most of the scenes in which she is involved. Really one can't have too many complaints with a story as well realized and as well wrapped as this. Perhaps you're like me and thought that the final twist was a little like a gymnastics team who already attained a perfect score going up for one more round on the balancing beam. But it lands so well that its cockiness is forgiven.
      • Feb 01, 2023
        This show sucks you in form the start to the finish of season 1. It's a well thought out show with some great acting. The blue collar back drop gives it a relatable feeling like you could have lived in this town. A fresh feeling that escapes the horrible tropes in most of the shows today.
      • Jan 29, 2023
        A perfectly paced gritty crime drama. Everything about this show is excellent. Kate Winslet was excellent and well supported by the rest of the cast. I liked the style of filming which suited the story. A must see that I'll probably watch again just for the performances.
