this. all that talk of the yellow king, and it was some landscaper who diddled his sister. everything leading up to that moment was great.
These type of shows never wrap up satisfyingly. It’s about the journey.
Yeah so Mare actually did wrap up satisfyingly, hence it's better than the red herring factory of TD S1.
the journey of TD1 was so good, it makes the ending seem lesser. mare was more consistent, but never reached the highs of TD1 (watch the six minute tracking shot scene following Rust at the drug house as a refresher).

Tonight’s viewing: last two episodes of Mare of Easttown.
Apparently it’s been discussed here.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The Maternal Hum of ‘Mare of Easttown’
The mystery of who killed Erin McMenamin gave the show its plot, but over the course of seven episodes, it became clear that the series was most interested in exploring the contradictions and conundrums of motherhood

Like the idea, but I swore off Rolling Rock as soon as I graduated college. If I'm gonna drink a cheap PA beer, it'll be a Yuengling.
