You may have seen folks chatting about HBO’s latest prestige drama on social media the past few weeks, and wondered to yourself, “Who or what is Mare, and where in the world is Easttown?” So for the uneducated, Mare is the main character of the TV show, played by the always-wonderful Kate Winslet, and Easttown is a fictional town in the suburbs of Philadelphia, where a murder of a young girl and the disappearance of two more young girls has rocked this small town where everyone knows one another.
Mare is the lead detective on all three cases, and as she struggles to put the pieces together on these crimes, her personal life is crumbling before her eyes, and there isn’t much she can do about it.
