Watched an episode of this last night and I'm intrigued. Looks much better than that shitshow True Detective Season 4. Does it keep the high standard throughout, or does it fall apart? Should I be expecting jump scares and one-eyed grizzly bears in the later episodes?

Never heard of this one. I really liked Secretariat, I'll give it a shot.

I thought it was pretty good. Any idea if they are doing another one or is that it.

It’s a very good series. Winslet is teriffic, and there is a real twist at the end.

this, HoD, Last of Us, and Peacemaker are the last good things I've watched and liked on Max. Mare is probably the best of thing I've watched on there in 5 or so years.

I remember is this show came out right around the same time as Mayor of Kingstown and I kept getting them mixed up

I binged this, really liked the setting and conclusion, hope there’s more

I finally broke down and watched it recently and it was a solid show for sure. Had some "Gracepoint/Broadchurch" vibes mixed in there.

Broadchurch is a very good comparison. Fantastic performances across the board (Kate Winslet is great), a deeply flawed main detective, a good mystery that hooks you in, but there's kind of a goofy conclusion. It's not so bad of an ending that you regret watching the show -- I'm looking at you The Killing -- but they don't exactly stick the landing.

I’m going to call this controversial, but not a hot take

The story was wrapped up and better written than True Detective season 1

Mare should have been TD season 2 or 4. Way better than either of those seasons and on par if not better than season 3. Worth a watch for sure.

Murder Durdur

When Elon Musk hosted SNL the parodied "Mare of Easttown" and they mention Royersford, PA...I lived in Royersford for 5 years so I thought that was cool.

I just did a rewatch of Mare. Was even better the second go around. I honestly had forgotten about the twist at the end. Very well done.

i think Chernobyl is within the past 5 years. That would be tops for me. IMO, the best mini-series ever, even better than Band of Brothers.

I thought MOE was solid - not sure if you watched “Your Honor” but that was excellent - only two seasons though
