Mare of Easttown (2021)

Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet) is a living legend in her small hometown in Pennsylvania.  You see back when she was just a high school basketball star, she hit the game winning shot heard all around their humble burg, turning her into a "big deal" over night.  Flash forward a few decades later and Mare of Easttown aka "Lady Hawk" to the locals is no longer a superstar sports hero, instead she's the town's lone detective.  While she's still beloved for the one defining moment in her life, she is also resentful of her nickname and local hero status as it overshadows her actual work as a pretty much the lone crime fighter in her rundown town.  We are also introduced to Erin McMenamin (Cailee Spaeny), who is a teenage mom with a contentious relationship with her baby daddy, his new girlfriend, a mysterious "boyfriend" she is texting XOXO's too, AND a violent drunk father.  Mare gets drunk at the local watering hole and meets a writer named Richard (Guy Pearce), who she takes home for a steamy one-night stand but the next morning she wakes up to a call that Erin has been murdered and her body was ditched in a creek bed just outside of town.  As we soon find out, Erin's murder is not the only young girl in town to meet a grim fate and Mare is now tasked with hunting down a killer while trying to keep her own life together in this new series from HBO.  Kate Winslet is as sexy as ever and keeps up her Lou Gehrig level streak of skin-tillating nude scenes by stripping down again and shows some buns in episode 1.  Also, Nude-Comer Cailee Spaeny has some far off nudity, but it comes under unfortunate circumstances as it's of her dead body in the river!  Enjoy this murder mystery and all the red herrings along the way, just don't miss any of the Kate Winslet action in this one, because she is a living legend!
