A movie buff has praised a police drama as the “most addictive” series on Netflix, encouraging viewers to tune in immediately.
EccyReviews, who uses his TikTok account to highlight the ‘finest’ programmes and movies across different streaming services, has offered his opinion on Mare of Easttown.
The 2021 limited series, crafted by Brad Ingelsby and starring Kate Winslet, Julianne Nicholson and Jean Smart, chronicles a small-town police detective attempting to juggle her work and personal commitments while probing the murder of a teenage mother.
The storyline summary states: “A young woman is murdered in a small Pennsylvania town. Detective Sergeant Mare Sheehan, a highly skilled crime investigator, is on the case. Having spent her entire life in Easttown, she knows everyone in it. However, her life is dark and troubled, largely due to the recent death of her son.”
Giving his views on the programme, EccyReviews gushed: “If you only watch one limited series this year, it has to be this one. It is not only the most gripping limited series I have ever watched but it genuinely might be the best.”

“I genuinely couldn’t stop myself from binge watching it that I stayed up until 2am watching the entire thing – trust me, I absolutely loved it,” reports Surrey Live.
He goes on to praise the casting choices and acting performances – describing it as essential viewing right now, despite debuting four years ago.
One viewer commented on his video, saying: “Excellent series.”
Another joined in, stating: “Mare of Easttown is unbelievable. God tier show.”
A third fan shared: “Watched this following your recommendation. loved it.”
Yet another added: “It’s a top limited series!”

Over on IMDb, one viewer marvelled: “The fact that a Brit mastered the very isolated DelCo accent is incredibly impressive. A very small percentage of Philly suburbanites have that accent and she delivered beautifully.”
They went on to say: “Now onto the actual storyline. It’s meticulously crafted and the characters are so well developed you feel as though you’re watching your next door neighbour play a part in a TV show.
“It doesn’t scream Hollywood, which gives it such a real feel that you almost forget you’re watching a show and not a documentary.
“The plot was not exaggerated nor was predictable. I enjoyed every minute. This is a job well done.”
Another viewer chimed in: “I can’t believe how much I enjoyed Mare of Easttown. It’s about a small town Pennsylvania homicide detective whose life falls apart around her as she investigates murders.
“She’s also a home town basketball hero so the entire town knows her. Even though it’s gotten great reviews and has been nominated for just about every award I was still hesitant about watching it.
