Kate Winslet picked up an Emmy for her gripping crime series Mare of Easttown, and if you haven't watched it yet, you absolutely should.

The British actress picked up the Emmy for Best Actress, Limited for the gripping HBO crime miniseries at Monday's ceremony.

Mare of Easttown is an expensive seven-part series starring Winslet, Guy Pearce, Julianne Nicholson and up-and-coming Australian actress Angourie Rice.

It emerges the homicide may be linked to the disappearance of two other young women in the small town.

While the premise – a murder mystery – may sound simple, Mare of Easttown has intrinsic layers which slowly peel back as the story unfolds, with the lens largely focused on Mare’s personal life and her own trauma.
