Mare of Easttown

Season One

This show was a great find for me. I had been seeing it on my HBO Max, but never seemed interested in watching. I was so wrong not to watch this show before now. If you are looking for something suspenseful, you will love this show.

Mare is a small town detective that knows everyone in her small town. Her mother lives with her along with a daughter and grandson. Mare has a lot of hidden demons but is very dedicated to her job.

She gets called about a missing teenager. Everyone in the town knows this teenager and is devastated of her death. Mare’s job is to figure out who killed the teenager. She is turning over all kind of hidden secrets to finally get to the shocking truth.

Only one season and not sure if there is room for another season; unless she is solving another crime. You should try watching it.

Ruthless

Season One

New show I found on BET. It reminds me of another show with a similar genre. A group of people are living at this camp and follow the leader called “The Highest.” The people get there through false hopes but later learn, this camp is not all they say it is.

The Highest – He is a crazy drug using leader and wants everyone at the camp to be happy. There are so many bad things happening behind the scenes. He makes his soldiers do things that are far from anything you can imagine. He is very insecure; but in front of his people, he puts on this big brave show.

Andrew – He is an undercover FBI agent who has gained entry into the camp; and is doing some unthinkable things to gain the trust of “The Highest.” Andrew has left behind a wife and son at home to go deep undercover. I am waiting to see where this road takes him.

Dikhan – He is the right hand to “The Highest.” He is very serious and worships the leader. His main focus is to please and do whatever it takes to keep the leader happy and keep the camp going. He does have a softer side but rarely seen.

Ruth – She is becoming a very important leader. She is slowly gaining the trust of “The Highest” and Dikhan. Her main goal is to find a way to escape the camp. She brought her young daughter there under false pretense. and is now regretful of that. She doesn’t trust anyone and is always looking over her shoulders. She will do anything to get out of there. Ruth has a few people that are going to escape with her.

Brian – He is another FBI Agent that is undercover posing as a Sheriff in the nearby local office. He knows Andrew is on the inside and trying to also gain evidence to bring the camp down. He is hot headed and may do something to jeopardize the entire case. Hopefully it will not come to that.

There is a group of people pretending to be happy at the camp; but putting together a plan to escape this camp also. The question is can they trust Ruth. Watch the season and found out yourself how interesting this show is. Tyler Perry has done it again.
