there wasn’t one jersey in the scene at the house after the old lady’s funeral, and we both know they’re standard formal wear in lower class philly.Mickey wrote:I actually consider that part of the gritty realism.

You'd have a point if it was Mare of Synder Avenue, but Easttown is not Philly, it is the Philadelphia metro area.spike wrote:there wasn’t one jersey in the scene at the house after the old lady’s funeral, and we both know they’re standard formal wear in lower class philly.Mickey wrote:I actually consider that part of the gritty realism.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Finally caught up on this show and read through this thread. Of all the takes, this is the wrongest. It's somehow startlingly wronger than trag's Siobhan takes. Which is impressive.Mickey wrote: actually very few of these characters are particularly well written and that the show is, as many have pointed out, driven almost entirely by mood and Winslet's acting (and to a lesser extent, Evan Peters').

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
However, you're dead right about how poorly written this last episode was. It was especially bad because of how brilliantly written the rest of the show is. Felt like I was watching a totally different show.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Mare is decent, looking forward to seeing how it wraps up. Sometimes these "shocking" crime dramas are too long though. Other than season 1 of True Detective and The Killing, (both of those are top of the genre) I get bored in the middle of it all. Make a movie out of it.
