Television 5 perfectly haunting mysteries to discover between episodes of ‘Mare of Easttown’ What do you think about the revelations in the shrink’s office? Speaking of which, why is Mare going off to confront a potential killer without backup again? If this show is about her journey to some sort of enlightenment, has she learned nothing? Or perhaps her pain from Kevin’s death, and maybe Zabel’s, left her near-suicidal. Erin was pregnant, John’s a philanderer, and his fishing trip with Billy smacks of a low-rent “Miller’s Crossing” moment.
I love Lori so, with her parkas and endless patience. Or what about their son, Ryan (Cameron Mann)? He’s been floating suspiciously at the edge of a lot of episodes.
Which would point to either a member of her family (Jean Smart?!? The priest-cousin?), Lori (Julianne Nicholson) or John (Joe Tippett).
REVIEW OF MARE OF EASTTOWN EPISODE 6 FULL
If we’re going full “Broadchurch” here, the murderer will definitely be the last person Mare/we suspect, someone who is very close to her. This is, of course, a favorite theme of small town mystery-dramas, from “Twin Peaks” to “Broadchurch.” In showcasing the “everyone has a secret” theme, the actual crime can become so buried in ancillary revelations that the police begin to look stupid (I mean, I was wondering about Billy from the get-go) and the solution becomes either anticlimatic (given Mare thinks it’s Billy, it will be boring if it turns out she’s right) or ridiculous. Was he the prowler reported by Betty Carroll (the wonderful Phyllis Somerville, in her final and too-brief performance) back in the first episode? Betty warned Mare that there was “a lot of bad s-” going on in Easttown, and obviously she is right, because we went from “Who would kill Erin?” to “Everyone might have killed Erin.” Winstons’ backyard and basement? Interviewing the recovered women? Getting them into therapy? Pennsylvanians are a hardy lot, but I am not a fan of chained-up women as a plot device.Īlso, if Mare knows everyone in town, why didn’t she know this guy? Obviously, he’s been prowling around Easttown for years. I am always happy when police dramas choose not to use meddling reporters as a foil, but honestly, where is the follow-up? There was at least one other young woman, who got pregnant and was taken away. Winstons and his bar o’ horrors? Even in Easttown, with its high rate of drug addiction and prostitution, I find it hard to believe that the discovery of two young women kidnapped, imprisoned and repeatedly raped didn’t make a bigger splash.
Second, as you noted, where’s the follow-up on Mr. First, nowhere near enough Jean Smart (I assume because she was off doing “Hacks”). Mary McNamara: Well, Mere, it was not my favorite episode. The “accent nerd” went to extraordinary lengths to sound like a Pennsylvania native for HBO’s “Mare of Easttown.” Here’s how she did it.
