Mare Of Easttown (HBO, 10 p.m., series finale): Well, Mare Of Easttown, you’ve been quite a rollercoaster. Here’s Joshua Alston on last week’s “Sore Must Be The Storm,” the penultimate episode of this stellar limited series:
Consequences come hard and fast in Easttown, and the worst-case scenario never feels more than three dramatic beats away. So for as quiet as it is, the final scene packs every bit as much punch as the season’s other deft cliffhangers. Mare is last seen walking with purpose near the Lehigh River, where the Brothers Ross have come for one last fishing trip before Billy reports to turn himself in for the murder of Erin McMenamin. Here’s what we know: Mare is headed to arrest Billy now that the rescue of Katie Bailey has earned her badge back. We know that Mare, true to renegade-cop form, dismissed Chief Carter’s reasonable request that she wait on backup. (Rather than stopping, she actually accelerates after the call.) We know there’s a gun in the tackle box at Billy and John’s fishing trip. We know Chief Carter has possession of a photo that will change Mare’s understanding of the murder. What happens from here is anyone’s guess.
Tonight’s the night that anyone’s guesses might be proven right—but it’s likely to be a finale every bit as gripping as the six episodes that came before. Watch for Joshua’s final recap.
