The hit series was widely praised for the twist, with one person writing: "That was one of the best endings to a limited series I have seen in a long time. In fact I don't remember the last time I saw an ending like that. WOW. Just spectacular. Such a great finale. W/great characters and stories. What a mess. What a beautiful mess!"
Another added: "The acting in #MareOfEasttown, especially in the finale, was stunning & deeply emotional. Kate Winslet & Julianne Nicholson knocked the wind out of me. Jean Smart was absolutely phenomenal as well. So well done."
