They really put some good thought into the structure of the reunion. It was so heartwarming and so darn funny!!!

I have been to that fountain. It is on the Warner Bros lot and we took a tour there.

Oh Mare of Easttown. I knew it but it sure was heartbreaking. Emmys should go to Kate, Jean and Julianne.

I was disappointed in the Mare of Easttown finale. It seemed a bit disjointed or uneven. The previous episodes had a fairly tight timeline and the passage of time in the finale was odd and out of place. I did not guess the actual killer right away but I was pretty close in what I thought would happen and not really surprised.
Although it is early in the year, I will be surprised if Kate Winslet does not receive an Emmy nomination.

I'm surprised you didn't like the finale. I absolutely loved it. It wrapped up all the story lines so there was nothing left unresolved. I think the timeline for the last episode probably took place over a few weeks to maybe a couple of months. I was pleasantly surprised how they took a character (Mare) who was not very likable in the first couple of episodes and made her likable by the finale. I thought the entire series was very well done.

When Mare was taking John Ross' confession, there was one second there when Mare takes a long pause, like she didn't believe what John just said. But then she continued like she was ignoring her instinct. That's when I knew something was up and it wasn't John (plus it was only half over lol). Did anybody else notice that moment?

Naja, I did see that moment. I figured who the killer was last week and maybe even before that. It was still heartbreaking. Kate Winslet, Julianne Nicholson and Jean Smart all deserve Emmy nods. My only thing I didn't get was Guy Pearce's character. It almost just felt out of place. Maybe he was there to soften Mare, I don't know. I kept thinking he wrote a crime novel so maybe Mare was going to be a source of a new book but I guess not. It seemed like maybe their relationship had more to it but that ended up on the cutting room floor.

I think Mare would have been a fabulous 3 ep series. I felt things were drawn out and then a let down with the pay outs. The guy that kidnapped the girls, that was a huge let down. I wanted the kidnapper to intertangle with the other characters.
Jean Smart was the bright spot in the series. Kate is a fabulous actress, I just wanted more from the series.

I agree Pamy, especially about the kidnapping storyline, it was there and not there.

I read that Guy Pearce was a last minute substitution for someone who was originally cast in that role but had to back out. I think everyone kept expecting something HUGE from his character with regard to Erin's murder being as it is Guy Pearce, but he was merely a last minute substitute.

Lexie, I thought he would turn out to be the kidnapper.

Joshua Alston wrote a review of the finale for the AV Club of Mare of Easttown that was pretty spot on regarding many of the missteps in the finale.

I enjoyed Mare of Easttown a lot too, mostly because of Winslet's performance. And yes, I picked up on Mare not really buying the story being told in the interview room, too much vagueness in the story.
And to me, the story is not a crime story, it's a personal growth story about grief.

You are right, Brenda. The grief and healing angle was beautifully done. We had suicide in my family many, many years ago. My older sister took her life and left behind a little boy three weeks shy of his 5th birthday. My parents raised him. He was a gift and a huge compensation for the loss of their child. Kate Winslet deserves an Emmy at least.

I loved the story too. Julianne Nicholson was great too. She was Mare's friend. Such an emotional part to play being an honest and decent person, and yet needing to save her family and protect her son. My heart broke in that last episode.

I've always loved Julianne Nicholson. She's been in so many shows. My hubby started calling her "Howdy Doody" because of her freckles. We've called her that for years, cause we can never remember her name! 😁
