Kate Winslet plays a small town police detective trying to hold her life together under very trying circumstances, and her performance is beyond great.

It may take a while to get used to the accents, but it's worth the effort (listening to Winslet, you'd never guess she's from Reading).
It is being shown on Sky Atlantic currently, and Mrs G and I are enjoying it. Only downer is that we have to wait a week to see the next episode. Can't say that I have noticed the accent that much, although I have read that it drove Winslet crazy trying to perfect it. It isn't a good advert for that part of the US, though.

I watched the first 20 mins but I couldn't cope with Kate Winslet having an American accent. She's so British. Maybe I'll give it another go

That part of the US (central Pennsylvania and West Virginia) was highly relaint on coal mining. As a result, poverty is rampant there now. Nearly 20% of the West Virginia population lives below the federal poverty line.

I've also just started watching Mare of Easttown too.

It seems very good and Kate Winslet is brilliant.

She's also still a hottie :love:

We haven't watched The Pact yet, but it is on the list.

Mare of Easttown is excellent, one episode to go. Also watched the second season of Innocent this week, which is also good.

We've recorded 'Innocent', not seen any of it yet.
