	Media	Author	Review
		Caryn James BBC	"At its heart 'Mare of Easttown' is the story of a fierce, ordinary heroine, beautifully played. No fright wigs, no prosthetics. No need (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"At its best the series gives Winslet space to deliver a performance that resists fireworks in favor of flickering doubts, insecurities and concerns"
		Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"Ingelsby and Zobel eventually manage to cast their spell through masterful cliffhangers and jolting twists, one of which made me actually jump in my chair"
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"As the twists and turns of the cases are revealed, it becomes a show greater than the sum of its already considerable parts (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Brian McIver Radio Times	"Kate Winslet on stunning form in crime drama packed with suspense (...) This is high end telly at its best (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Brian Tallerico The Playlist	The truth is that anyone with HBO needs to add this to their weekly schedule as it’s the first true must-see drama of 2021, an excellent ensemble piece that works as character study, murder mystery, and actor’s showcase
		Peter Travers ABC News	"'Mare of Easttown' is indisputably Winslet’s show, right up there with the similarly-themed miracles performed by Olivia Colman in 'Broadchurch'"
		Kelly Lawler USA Today	"While HBO's new 'Mare of Easttown' doesn't go so far as to reinvent the detective story, it does offer a version of the tale more nuanced and thoughtful than the vast majority of its peers (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Ian Freer Empire	"It’s commendably ambitious but the plot elements sometimes work against each other (...) to make it truly satisfying (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"A portrait of a fully fleshed out small Pennsylvania town and the citizens who populate it (...) The real standout is Winslet who, as always, transforms into her character"
		Katie Rosseinsky London Evening Standard	"Along with the skillful writing, the light and shade of [Winslet's] performance lifts the series out of clichéd cop territory (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"Some will try to crack the case, others will enjoy cracking a cold one with the cast — either way, 'Mare of Easttown' delivers."
