Title: Mare of Easttown
Review: Quirky seven-part mini-series that the critics were mixed about, but we found quite watchable. Winslet is a depressed detective in a small working class town in the northeast with lot of baggage. Complicated plot with lots of rough family dynamics. Shot grey and gritty and good ensemble cast performances. Dialog seemed over the top at times and the last episode seemed superfluous, but I was drawn into it. Masterful performance from Winslet in a real role departure for her. One and done, I think.
