Mare of Easttown, HBO

I miss the fukk out of Sharp Objects. Good ol atmospheric psychological drama. Would rewatch more often if it wasn’t so damn depressing.

Speaking of such, Vallée needs to bless the HBO streets soon. His style of directing is so interesting to me.

bruh, I drank so much bourbon watching Sharp Objects that show made me want to drink every time I watched it hahaha, and I'm not even a big drinker. It just felt appropriate.

Well, maybe this show will get you to like Jameson and rolling rock

I'm not sure there's anything that could get me to like Jameson lol Rolling Rock is a very drinkable beer, I remember buying that early in college

I had Jameson here in Atlanta when the beer festivals let you drink as much as you wanted. Its sight.

I don't think I ever had rolling rock. I'll drink the pretentious stuff like Stella Artois or Sierra Nevada, but I can't do the white trash stuff

Am I the only one who thought Erins friend was about to say Erins dad was the baby father at the end of the episode?

I don’t have all the characters names down yet and that’s who I thought she was referring to till the ending shot.

From the responses in here I guess I'm going to have to start this up.

I'm hooked 2 episodes in. This shyt is damn good.

On another note I'd hate to live in a small ass town like that where everyone knows everyone.

Grew up in a small town of 4K. You pretty much know most people. It was extremely boring and not much to do, but it was also generally safe and not a bad place to grow up. Of course I moved away 17 years ago. So have no idea what it's like now. Still have family and a few friends that live in the area and will never leave. That's the part that is so depressing to me is never actually seeing what the world has to offer outside of the little bubble.

Yeah. It's been really good so far and has great reviews.

The Thriller/Drama/Mystery is becoming a real vibe for HBO between this the Undoing and Sharp Objects. Kate Winslet is a brilliant actress, she really nails that Eastern Pennsylvania white trash vibe.

I'm actually kind of confused about where exactly this takes place. Am I correct that this is supposed to be in the area in between Philadelphia and Wilmington Delaware? From looking at Google Maps that area looks pretty urban. Yet in the show they seem to be in the middle of nowhere.

Is it a small town, or is it part of the Philadelphia metro area?

Last week's episode they mentioned driving to "The Turnpike", so I assumed they meant the NJ Turnpike.

This seems right.
Lower Chichester Township is a township in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 3,469 at the 2010 census.[3

Easttown is a show construct, but you can get to the turnpike in 40 to 50 minutes

But if they're that close to Philadelphia, it seems odd to me that they act like they are from a town in the middle of nowhere where the only thing people care about is a girls high school basketball team from the 90s.

I'm not familiar with the area, but it's hard to believe so little is going on in that world when they are actually in a major metropolitan area.
