Time To Say Goodbye - “Mare of Easttown” special impromptu episode!
Andy talks with Vinson Cunningham (New Yorker) and Jane Hu (UC-Berkeley English and Film) about the HBO show Mare of Easttown -- a.k.a. “Murder Durdur” -- which concludes its run this Sunday. We’re hooked, and we can’t figure out why!
*Warning: this episode includes spoilers!*
* Why are we all obsessed with this show about “specific whites” in the downwardly-mobile Pennsylvania suburbs?
* Why the appeal of regional accents?
* (Philly accent Youtube recs: Tina Fey, James McAvoy, Kate Winslett)
* Does the show have clear politics? Does it redeem the police?
* How successfully does it blend multiple genres (cop show, family sitcom, YA romance) into one?
* Does the show say something interesting about race and gender?
* Comparisons to The Wire, Twin Peaks, Law & Order, The Undoing &c.
* Finally, we reveal who actually killed Erin McMenamin??
