I haven’t seen one attractive woman in the entire town

This may be in keeping with the harsh reality of the greater Pennsylvania area.


Yep

Quite a homely group of women in that area of the country. Ohio is similar. I remember when LSU played OSU in the 2007 MNC game there were 150,000 OSU fans in New Orleans and I think I saw 5 attractive women

ETA:

Downvotes raining in like always from people in that area when southerners talk about this. Cracks me up

From time immemorial, the point of HBO love stories is to get T&A into the show no matter how much it may clash with the tone of the show.


Don't need love stories for that. Look at GoT. It was super gratuitous early on (thinking of Balish exposition in his brothel while two lesbos getting it on).

There was also a scene I read where producers asked for more nudity.

HBO likes to remind you that you're watching "premium" stuff, and I guess they thinks that equates to more profanity and nudity/sex.

I don't mind either, but I don't like it when it's gratuitous and out of place. It's the reason I quit on Ozark, that little redneck blonde chick's mouth was so out unbelievable to me.

There are people who talk like that, but I'm not interested in listening to them, either.

Clearly very limited options in the area. I mean the best looking woman Mare's age we've seen on the show is probably Jess's mom!


So you're telling me you don't find Mrs. Van Alden attractive? Nelson/Mueller is going to be pissed.

How dare you disparage Ruth!

But for real, you need to catch back up for the upcoming final season. The plot lines are ridiculously unbelievable, but that's still a fantastic show.

Burned through 3 episodes tonight, I haven’t read the whole thread it could’ve already been mentioned...but why is the trend on new shows to make the town look as dreary and depressing as possible?

My main takeaway after three episodes is that I got down on my knees and thanked the good Lord I wasn’t born in Easttown, PA. What a depressing town.

It’s good though, I’m hooked. I got a thing for Winslet I don’t even care how butch she looks in this.

A. it adds to the spookiness (think how HBO made Louisiana look in True Detective, granted a lot of La is quite spooky looking lol).

B. I don't know personally but I'd guess alot of little towns in the North East, such as the Midwest, look just like that as all the jobs and industry left and pills took over hard.

C. You are probably not wrong in thanking God that you weren't born in Penn lol.

ETA:" I got a thing for Winslet I don’t even care how butch she looks in this." What are you, her whewwwwaaater boy now?

I hear it in every word he says

The previews kind of gave away that Zabel would get killed in that scene. I kind of wish I wouldn't watch them, but I can't help myself

Not sure what to think now. Still think Siobhan comes into play somehow. There’s something going on there and Erins uncle might be the actual dad.

Not sure how the kids now come into play. Good shite. Although I think the abductor will turn out to have a partner. Would be super anti climactic for it to just be this random guy acting alone.

She also said the guy had a beard.....

I’m guessing the journals reveal the bf already knew he wasn’t the dad.

That was the motive to kill her.

Holy shite that was intense. I’d been hoping for some kind of Clarice vs Buffalo Bill scene at some point and that’s exactly what we got.

Mare gonna be even more fricked up with Zabel getting blown away like that.

Now what the frick is Dylan up to burning the journals? I still don’t think he pulled the trigger, maybe he arranged it?

Why kill her then? If you're not the dad, wouldn't that be good news for him?
