One of the most talked-about dramas of the year so far is currently gripping viewers, with HBO’s Mare of Easttown captivating fans.
The Kate Winslet-led drama has been winning people over since arriving in April, with a brilliant central performance at its heart.
It tells the story of detective Mare Sheehan (played by Winslet) as she attempts to solve the murder of a young woman in a small town near Philadelphia.
It’s described as ‘an exploration into the dark side of a close community and an authentic examination of how family and past tragedies can define our present.’
Brad Ingelsby (The Way Back) and directed by Craig Zobel (The Leftovers) are the creative minds behind the project, which has left viewers shocked over recent weeks. It means the finale isn’t too far away, either.
But is the series based on a book? Here’s everything you need to know.
