The role of a detective takes a vast amount of inspiration and effort. The actress who is frequently seen donning roles in simpler genres, Kate Winslet steals the show with her performance in a murder mystery. The way she has portrayed the day to day life of her character Mare including the stress and the determination towards her commitments was refreshing and one that set her apart. Mare is a driven detective who is completely passionate about her job and watching the perfect portrayal of the character played by Winslet on the screen will leave you feeling estranged from your surroundings.
The beauty of small towns is that all the residents know each other. This makes it harder to confront or accuse people of any crime that has taken place without solid evidence. The hindrance that is caused by this very fact is something that Mare is least bothered about and the strength along with that strong mindset of the character is perfectly depicted by Kate Winslet; who plays her strengths objectively over emotionally.
One of the most spectacular things about the show is the fact that the senior-most detective is a female, especially one with such a complex and tragic history. Around the world, even today, male detectives have always outnumbered the female. In this field, at times not only numbers but respect plays a huge role as well, whereas Mare who has worked hard to make her place in the testosterone-fueled environment has nothing to worry about. Kate Winslet having portrayed a character like this is inspirational for many young women around the world especially today.
Kate, who plays a grandmother, herself states that she was extremely pleased that the protagonist was mature and above her 40s... It is very rare to find an old character be the centre of the stage especially that of a murder mystery. Mare is not only an inspiration for young women but also to old ones as she represents physical activity and determination towards her career.
Catch the season finale of Mare of Easttown only on Disney+ Hotstar Premium.
