Season 1 Review:
The problem with Mr. Mercedes, at least early on, is a version of Netflix bloat: it dawdles, and through the first four episodes it feels like the story is still getting started. One of the most important characters from the novel, a woman who joins in Bill’s investigation, has yet to appear. So far Mr. Kelley has put together a decent character study, but whether he’ll pull off a hard-boiled thriller remains a mystery.

Season 1 Review:
While Mr. Mercedes exhibits signs of improvement--the series’ resonance strengthens once Mary-Louise Parker (finally) shows up--the drama comes off as an unappealing combination of Stephen King’s most ghastly horror moments mashed into a hard-boiled detective story.
