Arghh. After recently receiving several unsolicited tweets regarding the finale of 'Mare of Easttown', I investigated and watched the first ep. It's a 2021 hbo limited series starring Kate Winslet and it turns out to be exactly what I feared--- another of what I call the 21st Century Detective Drama Cliché. One that merely exploits the original---'The Killing'. Gritty lower-class setting, gloomy weather, moody female detective with personal and family problems. Throw in the usual dose of red herrings and you have 7 hours of a 1-hour story, 2, at best.
