Mare of Easttown (HBO) Kate Winslet mini-series

Last post but this sums up Guy’s character for the show. Ddd



And I so thought that this was gonna happen:



And I thought when Mare eventually goes up the attic and finds out that the daughter hides a secret there which would’ve been a perfect setup for season 2...

 

It's a one and done, like Big Little Lies.

 

Although Big Little Lies did get a season 2 eventually and I heard the creator say he would be open to a second season if the right idea came along. Honestly, in this time of vicious competition among streaming services, I don't think HBO will let go of a hit show that easily.

 

If the only memorable thing to come out of a second season is a gif of Meryl screaming, it's best to pretend it doesn't exist.

 

Am I the only one who found Billy Ross STRANGELY hot? Maybe John too.

 

Yeah, it was a good conclusion but I don’t know if I loved it. I’d have preferred if Lori had done it.

 

Spoiler

I would let them double team me without a second though.

 

THIS WAS WHAT I WAS THINKING ALL ALONG BUT DARE NOT verbalise in case the plot for those two characters goes all the way dark.

 

Discovering that John Ross is married to Sara Barellis. . .

Getting that Broadway coin, lead in a Tina Fey show and the good D. Queen Barellis stays winning.

 

I’m suddenly jealous of Sara Barellis. I never thought I’d say this...

 

They aren't married, but yeah -- they met because he was in Waitress when she did her guest stint in the show. I think they've been dating since like ... 2018? I was kinda gooped when I found out.

Especially since she is responsible for taking these two photos:

 

The writing in the last episode was noticeably shoddier but what a series. Julianne Nicholson broke my heart.

I'm all for one-season shows but since seeing someone say this could become a Prime Suspect type gig for Winslet... Here for it.

 

I enjoyed the finale, but was there a gaping plot hole? Did I I miss something?

Spoiler

If the kid got the gun and put it back in the garden shed the same night, how did the old guy know that it had gone missing?

 

Oh balls, you're right. Or did he get it a few days before?

 

Yeah, this drove me insane. It made no sense. He made it sound like it was gone for days, not hours.

 

I completely agree. Kate’s acting just pulled me right out and I moved on but it’s strange they didn’t flesh that one out better.

 

When did he set up the security system? It was after the first episode right? I don't even remember properly.
