Watch Party | Mare of Easttown

article image placeholderMare of Easttown: Official Trailer | HBO
It's Sunday evening, everyone. And that means a new episode of Meravis Town is available. The HBO drama mystery thriller. However, we want to describe it that everyone's been talking about out. And you may have been listening to the conversation I have been having with John Deborah, exceptional writer, casual critic. We have been having an ongoing conversation about our love for Kate Winslet, along with others who have been hopping in and decided, you know what we need?

Everyone's talking about this show. Let's dig in. #mareofeasttown #hbo #tv https://youtu.be/bm7RmpzCeyk

Hoping for a sunny day ...

So there's a little bit of that lazy writing that I'm seeing, especially around the two people who were locked away, but that's quickly been resolved now that the cops have arrived and I don't want to ruin it. But anyway, I was hoping she'd find some light with that new spark, but then that spark went away. I'm trying not to ruin the plot for people, so I'm sad. I'm sad for her and just want a sunny day

Episode 5 reaction

I did not see that coming and it just felt so sudden and I think it's positioning in where it was in the episode two. It just ended on such a dark note. Jesus, this episode also made me realize that this is a limited series, so I think this entire story needs to wrap up in only two more episodes

I'm still a little, you know, I love the character. I don't know if it was cheap or not. I just don't know how I feel about this episode. First of all, I think one of the points of this episode is that the disappearance of those two young women are not connected to the death of Erin, the single mom, the murder that's driving the story. So there's no connection to that. That was my takeaway

@JohnDeVore 😭😭😭

I am on the edge of my seat waiting for what jeansmart is going to eat next. I can't wait. Tonight is the night. Merrivetown is back next episode, so I had to take a bit of a setback. I've been morning all week. That dear sweet Sable is no more. There's part of me that's like, can this just turn into a zombie narrative or something where he comes back from the dead? Because I already miss him

I screamed the TV, I paused it and I screamed. And of course, it was a fake out. So I felt manipulated. But I screamed. So we'll see what happens this next Sunday. I got to tell you, the town of East Town needs therapy. That's a f***** up town, like basically to live in the East Town is to live in a town where if a teen girl shows up dead

@JohnDeVore Ep 6!!

Oh, my God. I also screamed at the very unrealistic but still incredibly effective, almost drowning scene. I was like, I can't. I can't handle one more after Zebel. Like, I'm still still processing. There can't be a dead little boy now. Yeah, I'm feeling real conflicted about episode six here, and we have tonight the season finale

I'm not certain of that. But first of all, Kate Winston's Mary is a hero. And in America, on TV and movies, all heroes get to have someone who's in love with them. So I'm fine with that. But by the end, she has surrendered and allowed herself to be happy. That's the point of Guy Pearson's character

@JohnDeVore Final thoughts & what to watch next!?

Oh, man, it's been the first week in quite a while that I did not have Mayor of East Town to look forward to. It's been a little rough, I must admit. So I took a bit of time because I was really wanted to process the final episode before I listen to your thoughts. And I'm so glad I did, because your perspective John, gave me much more appreciation for Guy Pearce's character and the role he played because I think you're exactly right
