HBO’s Mare of Easttown finished its captivating crime story in satisfying fashion, but season 2 could offer more for the Pennsylvania-set series. Mare of Easttown stars Kate Winslet as Mare Sheehan, a detective living in a Philadelphia suburb. When a local teenage mother turns up dead, Mare investigates while attempting to keep her own difficult life from crashing in on her. Winslet’s turn as the gritty, grumpy Mare is one of the best performances of her career, and she and the rest of the Mare of Easttown cast portray a group of original, realistic, and fascinating characters who could all lead a story of their own.
