Kate Winslet begins with a Content Advisory Warning.

​

"I need to tell you that I've only just finished playing this character and when I talk about her, there's a little bit of me that falls apart."

 

The character is Mare Sheehan of HBO’s Mare of Easttown, a seven- episode limited series about a troubled small-town detective who’s searching for two missing girls in Pennsylvania. The casting might seem like a stretch for Winslet. After all, she’s a British star who lives in a farmhouse on the Sussex coast with a husband, three children and, when we speak, a dog at her feet.
