Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

I have to recommend this HBO series https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10155688... starring Kate Winslett. I think it would be a hit with any mystery/thriller fans. The mysteries to be solved are well plotted and slowly unfold over the 7 episodes; Kate Winslett is phenomenal as a police detective in a working class Philadelphia suburb. Gritty, complex, with an unbelievable (as in surprising, not fake) resolution. Highly recommend!

I’ll second that! Absolutely loved this show. The Kate Winslet performance was incredible and the show has a strong sense of place.

Thanks for the recommendation! Sounds exactly like something I'd love!

I have it on my DVR- haven't watched yet, though.

Carol: we also loved it, your recommendation is spot on. Lots of strong characters, and Kate Winslett is amazing, Jean Smart also is stellar. As Karly mentioned it has a strong sense of place.

Sherry, take my advice and watch it before you accidentally run across spoilers. I may hate spoilers more than you do, but part of my love of this show was that I didn't see many of the plot developments coming.

Ann, yes! Jean Smart was a revelation. I think she has a series coming out somewhere and if I get the channel I will definitely watch it. The cast on this show was outstanding. I also hadn't seen Guy Pearce in a while and he was on point for the small role he played. And Juliane Nicholson, who I remember from Law & Order Criminal Intent. She's popped up here in and there but boy did she shine here.

Carol: yes, the entire cast was so amazing. Will have to look for Jean Smart's other show. She was on Fresh Air talking about it on May 12. It's Hacks on HBO Max I believe.

Yes, that's it. Hacks. Here's the premise according to Wikipedia:

Deborah Vance is a legendary Las Vegas comedy diva looking to appeal to a younger audience. Vance's agent sends Ava, an entitled 25-year old, to help freshen up the material, and Vance begins mentoring her.

It's described as a comedy/drama and Jean Smart plays Deborah Vance.

thanks, carol. it's up next and I am studiously avoiding all spoilers and actually any talk about it at all!

I haven't gotten the chance to see it yet.
