    Ponderous unlike the first season, and not as interesting, Mr. Mercedes unfortunately wears its welcome despite fine acting across the board.

    Excellent series I enjoyed the first two episodes. I love the opening scene sequence especially in episode 1. I look forward to seeing the remaining episodes and the wild ride ahead.

    One of the best Stephen King adaptations. Very smart and interesting the whole way through. The acting is topnotch especially Treadaway and Gleeson. One of the few shows that that goes to the top of the dvr watch list.

    Four episodes in, the season’s still in cruise control, taking its time to build mood and character in ways a lesser show might deem unneccessary but that continue to make Mr. Mercedes one of the most sturdily constructed thrillers on television. ... Still one of television’s darker, most compelling rides.

    In fairness, it’s faithful to the source material, but it’s a big leap and the landing is a bit shaky because it feels so caddy-corner to the gritty crime drama of the first season. ... But it is still creepy.

    Mr. Mercedes has yet to fire on all cylinders in the early stages of Season Two. But a nice slow simmer is well-suited to Gleeson’s talents as an actor who doesn’t mind taking his time in further molding a character with a gruff exterior and an old, buttered soul. It’s a beauty of a savory performance, with the bigger chills still coming. All in due time.
