Score Breakdown
The Review
Mare of Easttown is the best limited series since Chernobyl. Kate Winslet's Mare Sheehan — a small-town Pennsylvania detective carrying the weight of a community's grief — is one of the great television performances. The show nails the specificity of working-class Delco life in a way that feels lived-in rather than touristic. The mystery is compelling, but Winslet's character study is the real draw.
Fun Fact
Kate Winslet insisted that the production not digitally alter her appearance and fought to keep a scene showing her belly roll, saying it was important to portray a real woman's body.
