positive · AI labelView post →Any crime show that takes place on HBO exists in the Sopranos universe. If you're watching The Wire or Task or whatever, all that stuff actually happened, they just don't make a big thing of it. Mare of Easttown was at the same club in Philly as Christopher Moltisanti once but neither knew it

Should just be fully outlawed,” Zobel tweeted early Friday while the country absorbed the news. > “There’s computers now. The gunshots on ‘Mare of Easttown’…

neutral · AI labelView post →One day I will correctly type the title "MARE OF EASTTOWN" on first attempt and not the name of the show that's in my head for some reason: "THE MARE OF EASTTOWN," which is presumably a series about a very special horse.
neutral · AI labelView post →“did anyone else get a little bit of Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown from the opening of Agatha All Along?” Yes dumbass! It was an obvious parody of that specific show. Why do I bother opening Threads? The Meta-induced brain rot lack of media literacy there physically hurts to read.

GUY: Ha ha no it’s a sci fi show about colonists on an alien planet HBO: Cool GUY: [under breath] & they’re all bereaved residents of Delaware County PA HBO: Hm? GUY: Hm?
neutral · AI labelView post →Man, TASK, on HBO (by the creators of MARE OF EASTTOWN), is so layered in both story and emotion... just wow. And I'm only on episode 2 (there are 4 out...had to catch up on GILDED AGE). Great show.

neutral · AI labelView post →Task got at something I keep complaining about with pop culture. I didn't leave Mare of Easttown wanting a Season 2. I wanted a new story that did the same things well. If Brad Inglesby does a new Southeast PA cops-and-opioids series every 24 months for the next 20 years I'll watch it.
neutral · AI labelView post →You all should watch #Task on #HBO. It's kind of a mix of Mare of Easttown, Sons of Anarchy and every FBI TV show ever. Great casting and just flawless writing. youtu.be/irkyXKTmY8M
neutral · AI labelView post →I think now that the dust has settled by far the best show of this “actually it’s an advertisement for therapy” genre was Mare of Easttown. Muting, bye bye
positive · AI labelView post →Finally getting to Mare of Easttown, and Jean Smart steals the show in every scene she is in.
positive · AI labelView post →Mare of Easttown. With Task being released this fall, I decided to do a binge re-watch of Mare of Easttown. That is the only other show I know Brad Ingelsby has made. Ingelsby has an excelllent track record with movies. He wrote American Women that was directed by Ridley Scott’s kid and it will tear your heart out. Ingelsby also wrote Out of The Furnace that starred Christian Bale and was directed by Scott Cooper. So Ingelsby moves in all the right circles. OMG Mare of Easttown is such an…
neutral · AI labelView post →It's the endless, meandering mysteries I can't stand. My mom got sucked into watching Mare of Easttown with me. I had the blu-rays and we did one episode per day and then she was so sucked in we watched the final 4 episodes all at once. That's my kind of mystery show. It has an ending.
positive · AI labelView post →So I am very, very late on HACKS, but I so very much appreciate the range between the Julianne Nicholson we see on this show compared with the roles she had on MARE OF EASTTOWN and PARADISE. I really had to do a double-take "wait ... is that? ..."
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven't watched, but "Somebody Somewhere" just ended a 3-season run; also, Gilded Age returns later this month; "Task"--the new family crime show from the creator of Mare of Easttown bows in Sept.; The White Lotus S4 is in the works; and it has comedies from Rachel Sennott + Bill Lawrence
neutral · AI labelView post →My wife and I decided to watch "Mare of Easttown." The show was filmed at locations in Chester, PA and across the Delaware Valley in SE Pennsylvania. It was like going home.
positive · AI labelView post →The bizarre child-custody resolution at the end of Mare of Easttown ruined the show for me. Hit entirely the wrong emotional notes and seemed legally implausible
negative · AI labelView post →Richly deserved! Best US cop show since Mare of Easttown. Emmy Rossum is an acting force of nature.
neutral · AI labelView post →Julianne Nicholson joins ‘TASK’ Season 2 at HBO as her ‘MARE OF EASTTOWN’ character Lori Ross, confirming a crossover between the two series. Starring Mark Ruffalo, Mahershala Ali, Harry Melling, and Edgar Ramirez. #Task #MareOfEasttown #HBO

neutral · AI labelView post →just finished rewatching the first series of Mare of Easttown, there's a second on the way I'm told - this was even better watching again, picked up on a lot more nuance and subtext, stunning cast, writing, direction, the whole box and dice, seven episodes (HBO/Max)
positive · AI labelView post →Mare of Easttown springs to mind. It was pretty good and is a miniseries. 7 episodes that are about an hour each.
neutral · AI labelView post →I just started Mare of Easttown. Somebody level with me: To what degree (%) is the appeal of this show about Kate Winslet doing a Philadelphia accent
neutral · AI labelView post →You may know Brad Ingelsby from two HBO TV series he created: Mare of Easttown and Task. I've known Brad since 2013 when we did a Go Into The Story interview. Fun fact: Brad had two scripts on the 2012 Black List. You can check out that interview here. www.patreon.com/posts/144498... #screenwriting
neutral · AI labelView post →As a sad Covid dad right now I’ve chosen to watch sad FBI/sad Robber dad show TASK. Perfect Covid watching thus far as I dug MARE OF EASTTOWN a lot. #SadDad
positive · AI labelView post →Anyway, can we talk about the first episode of Task yet? The Animal Kingdom-inspired portion of the cast, they’re doing great with their adopted Delaware Valley accents. Promising show if you accept that while it’s lighted and paced and scored like Mare of Easttown, it’s not meant to be a sequel.
neutral · AI labelView post →Finished Dept Q, then watched all of Mare of Easttown yesterday and am episode of Untamed and I think these are all the same show?? One rugged, loner brilliant cop nobody likes but everyone loves, solves cases no one thinks can be solved. And they don’t so it by the book! They’re a maverick(s)!
neutral · AI labelView post →“oh hey i like her! the show” can be a fun genre! I enjoyed Mare Of Easttown and like Elizabeth Moss getting a new thing to do every five years
positive · AI labelView post →This is not a movie, but there’s a child custody arrangement at the end of Mare of Easttown that made me furious and ruined the entire show for me
negative · AI labelView post →The gall of them to make a show called Mare of Easttown and NOT have it be about an actual mare, very disappointing
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watching TASK on HBO and I’m ready to call it the best show of 2025 Would have watched much sooner if I realized it was set in the Mare of Easttown cinematic universe!

neutral · AI labelView post →Ok so I am pretty sure I saw someone make this joke before and I didn’t understand it but it’s extremely amusing to line up the parallels between the plot of the Kate Winslet film Titanic and the Kate Winslet show Mare of Easttown They have some… rather conspicuous beats and McGuffins in common
neutral · AI labelView post →Travelers, The Expanse (noted by OP), Beef, and Breaking Bad are all solid. Add Mare of Easttown, the Morning Show, and the Newsroom and you've got half of my favourite shows of the past 15 years. Ted Lasso was the big surprise to me here. The characters are lovable, caring, and well-crafted, and the story is simple but compelling. In all, only the most heartless, isolate, human beings would get nothing from this show.
positive · AI labelView post →2. Just got the halfway point of 'Mare of Easttown' and gang, this series is AMAZING. So tightly interwoven, such world building. So much said and unsaid. SEEK. IT. OUT. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare_of...
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Mare of Easttown years after it debuted and the way this show does not address a 15 yr old being taken advantage of by a 40ish man. Like it goes out of its way not to even call that what it is. Someone just say the word. And that word is not "relationship."
negative · AI labelView post →But are they going to finally show white dudes wearing shorts in the winter? Biggest omission of character detail from Mare of Easttown, imo
neutral · AI labelView post →...with him must be and how badly the world has failed his family. Unlike Mare of Easttown, Inglesby’s last HBO mini-series, there isn’t a mystery to solve. With Task, he builds a morally complex story, fitting for our troubled times. /END
neutral · AI labelView post →Im four years and one website late to the discourse, but I just watched Mare of Easttown on Max and wow, what a bleak and incredible show. And the only show that actually attempted authentic suburban Philly accents?
positive · AI labelView post →The Penguin is great - proper HBO prestige type show. Craig Zobel directed the first two episodes (at least) - he's a name I recognise from Mare of Easttown. No idea why they cast an attractive Irish guy to play an 'unattractive' American guy, but it only distracted me a bit in episode one. Taskmaster Australia is out now too. It's got way too many ad breaks, but it's not like I'm watching it being broadcast, and the host has said he "doesn't give a shit" if it's pirated (unlike the…

positive · AI labelView post →Tomorrow's show features Meredith Hambrock (award-winning author of SHE'S A LAMB!) discussing the hit HBO limited series, MARE OF EASTTOWN.

I think this started on another network and landed here HBO has a number of cop shows. Though I would not categorize them all as copganda. - The Wire - We Own This City - Task - The Mare Of Easttown - True Detective (this is copganda) - The Night Of

positive · AI labelView post →I'm giving Mare of Easttown another watch. I'd forgotten how how incredible it is and how stellar the entire cast is. I can't remember a drama series that I've ever seen that is this uncommonly good.
