*I decided to watch all of Mare of Easttown in one go.
It is good.

Did you not watch or am I literally your first introduction to that sequence of words?

What a fucked up family.
But it’s the low stakes drama that affects no one. We need this.

I love the show, but it’s interesting to think how this version is controlled by her son. I think Claudia gets more nuanced, but also more unpleasant.
