Mare of Easttown is one of many HBO shows that got the world talking, thanks to its riveting mystery and outstanding performances. Creator Brad Ingelsby has once again returned to TV for those with an HBO Max subscription thanks to the new miniseries, Task. While I've been enjoying the first few episodes, I've got to admit that the show's signature accents are just making me think of the Mare of Easttown SNL sketch from a few years back.
Task is getting a ton of praise, with Ingelsby once again crafting a compelling narrative with outstanding actors... who happen to be using a Pennsylvania accent. While the cast is really nailing their dialect work, I unfortunately can't stop thinking about the way SNL spoofed it with their Mare of Easttown sketch. And as such, the new series has been bringing some unintentional comedy to my living room.
