What Season 1 of Mare of Easttown

Mare Sheehan is a detective in Easttown, a residential neighborhood on the outskirts of Philadelphia. Twenty-five years ago, she scored the basket that won her high school its first state championship, and the town still remembers her for it. Now she is investigating the murder of a teenage mother, while another young woman who went missing is still nowhere to be found, and her private life starts to fall apart. Her ex-husband Frank, her grandson Drew, and Professor Richard, who recently arrived in town, are part of her everyday life. When county detective Colin Zabel arrives to help her, the pressure from the community doesn't let up. Created by Brad Ingelsby for HBO, the miniseries follows a investigator trying to solve the case without her family and community falling completely apart.
