In "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" it is Mildred Hayes, played by the inimitable Frances McDormand, whose daughter has been raped and killed seven months earlier.
In many ways, "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" employs the same method, by luring the audience in by promising a whodunit and then giving them a state of the nation panorama of lives lived in small town America.įor this concept to work, the protagonist of the story, the person who believes there is a story that must be uncovered, needs to be interesting and resilient. The very successful podcast turns into an odyssey of false starts and strange monsters as we get to learn of the hapless people living in the kind of rural America we have little access to. The genre has found expression mostly in true crime podcasts, such as This American Life's "S-Town." "S-Town" is about a man living in a small town in Alabama who contacts the producers about a murder that has not been properly investigated.
