It's hard to sum up the brilliance that is Mare of Easttown.
It's a crime drama, and a mystery, and at times a comedy, but it's also a study of the human condition.
The series stars a greasy pony-tailed Kate Winslet as Detective Mare Sheehan, Jean Smart as her mum, an unexpectedly attractive Evan Peters as her partner Detective Colin Zabel, and Guy Pearce as her mysterious silver fox love interest.
Mare is juggling work with caring for her young grandson and grieving the loss of her own son, when a local girl's body is found in the woods.
Her life begins to unravel as she gets closer and closer to the truth and discovers the secrets those closest to her are hiding.
