Season 2 Review:
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.

Season 1 Review:
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.

Season 2 Review:
Some of those character-centric scenes stand out because, unlike the first season with its vehicular homicide opening and instantly established stakes of Brady's next target, the second season struggles initially to find propulsive momentum. The new cast regulars, especially Huston's Felix, are bland and the efforts to bring in favorite characters, including Breeda Wool's Lou, sometimes feel strained. There's still a lot to be interested in with Mr. Mercedes, assuming you can figure out if you have access to Audience Network.

Season 1 Review:
It’s familiar stuff that Kelley could adapt in his sleep--The Practice never seemed to run out of charismatic serial killers who always managed to hoodwink poor stupid Bobby Donnell until after he was suckered into getting them an acquittal--but the details, and the performances, are all well-drawn enough to make it a pleasing rendition of this classic rock tune.

This is why Mercedes is better than BMW, they have a tv show, that recognition.
