"My life's a shit show, Zabel. I'm about to lose custody of my grandson, and I'm still workin' through unresolved issues from the son who killed himself. And, uh, my ex-husband basically lives in my backyard, so, you're right, I don't know what you want, but I'm sure it's not that." - Mare

Why watch this? Winslet captivates as the complicated small town detective.

Plot Summary: Police detective Mare Sheehan investigates the murder of a teenage mother in a small Pennsylvania town, while simultaneously grappling with her own personal struggles, including a divorce and the lingering grief over the death of her son. The investigation unfolds in a close-knit community where everyone seems to have secrets, making it difficult to uncover the truth. As Mare digs deeper into the case, she is forced to confront both the hidden complexities of the town and her own inner turmoil.

Dad's Preview: This HBO limited-series is a master-class on efficiency. No moment is wasted. A Pennsylvania small town detective, with a shit-ton of personal issues of her own, has to solve the murder of a teenager who died at an outdoor party. There are a lot of truly great things about Mare of Easttown, but the most incredible is Winslet's brutally honest performance. She is simply the best actress of her generation.
