I like to save my surprised gasps for true television moments. The reveal of the Bent Neck Lady. Hold the door. When Hot Priest sees the camera. You know. The BIG moments. And the fifth episode of Mare of Easttown, Illusions, gets two of them. It's a two gasp episode. Join Beth and Amy at The Cool Table as they discuss all the tied up loose ends, all the lingering and changing theories and that heartbreaker of an ending.

Also, please rate us and leave a review, and share with your Mare-obsessed friends!

Episode Four of Mare of Easttown, Poor Sisyphus, gave us about 17% of the answers we were looking for, and a lot more questions. Secrets abound, and the tension is ratcheting up for the final few episodes of the series. Join Beth and Amy at The Cool Table as we discuss how our theories are evolving, how much we love Jean Smart and where exactly Mare's mustache must be.

HBO is over here getting us hooked on another cop procedural even thought we swore them off. But this one has sleepy eastern corridor towns, Kate Winslet, Jean Smart and a heaping helping of misdirection. We are helpless against that.

Mare of Easttown has some amazing characters, but at its core, it's a whodunnit, and we think we know who done it. Want to talk to someone - anyone - about all your theories on Mare of Easttown? Pull up a chair to The Cool Table as we dissect the little moments and bigger implications of the top suspects, and a couple unsuspecting ones.

Bridgerton remains a full-on pop culture phenomenon, but here at the cool table, we knew about it before it was cool. We started Bridgerton Book Club to get ready for the Shondaland show, and our previous episodes were recorded live back in summer 2020. But finally, we got around to Benedict Bridgerton’s book: An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn.

Insta-love, bad ideas from supposedly good guys, and all the theories for Benedict’s upcoming story on screen: grab a seat this is Bridgerton Book Club right here at The Cool Table.
