Sep 23, 2017I really wish they would stick to the original story instead of re-writing it. SK is an amazing novelist and it's disappointing to see his work so changed.

Mr. Mercedes‘ pacing likely won’t do the series any favors with the weekly crowd, but stick with it and you’ll find a fascinating spin on genre conventions packed to the brim with smart character drama and uniformly excellent performances.

Gleeson does a first-rate job with a character we’ve seen before, the tormented cop who plunges into a battle where he’s seemingly outflanked and outgunned. Treadaway is suitably troubling as a kid who represses such waves of rage and frustration that we don’t doubt it could explode somewhere. That the causes of his rage play as clichés doesn’t make him less menacing, though it makes the larger story less than subtle. Call it a solid campfire yarn.

Kelley has made Janey Patterson, as played by Mary-Louise Parker, into a romantic interest for Hodges. This fix is not only needless--that’s one reason Taylor’s Ida exists, as she did in King’s novel: to provide Hodges with some intimate comfort--but it seems both less believable. ... Putting that aside, Mr. Mercedes is awfully good.
