I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Fresh and Exciting

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Riveting story made even better by superb acting by everyone involved. Highly recommended.

Despite the staggering number of morons who ruined this show's Amazon rating by giving it one-star reviews due to a missing episode, rather than it being a bad show, it still managed to pop-up on my radar; a small miracle for which I am very grateful, as it is an outstanding piece of television.As serial-killer procedurals go, this is one of the finest I've seen, with strong writing, a talented cast, confident director, and master storyteller Stephen King pulling the strings.It is not perfect. Far from it. But in an overcrowded genre replete with potential potholes, this show managed to avoid most of the common hazards, while remaining generally unpredictable, well-paced, and intriguing. On a few occasions it began to feel a little like the similarly excellent "Dexter", and somewhere around the middle I began to experience unexpected sympathies with the killer, which made me wonder if I should be rooting for him, rather than the retired cop expertly portrayed by the ever likable Brendan Gleeson. But in the nick of time, my own personal leanings toward serial-killer-dom were jogged back to the correct moral course, and the season concluded with a deeply satisfying finale.On a personal note, and with absolutely no exaggeration, this show also achieved something rather remarkable: Literally every single song featured in the entire series, without exception, was one that I absolutely hate. This has never happened before in 43 years of watching films and TV. I wasn't even aware that I hated so many songs, but apparently I do. And since the soundtrack of any film or TV show is at least fifty percent responsible for the viewer's emotional responses to what they're watching, it is even more impressive that I enjoyed the show so much, despite its appalling soundtrack!I'm assuming that this is a one-off series, but if not I can't wait for the next one.

On the one hand I was disappointed that it was so different than the book. King is a master storyteller and rewriting the book is foolish who ever made the changes you are not Steven King. So after much contempations I have decided that it can only help SK sell more books because you have people like me saying the book is better the book is better. On the other hand it was like watching an entirely different story so there is that. All that aside the acting was great and the story was ok for a tv series just the book is better

I'm a big fan of King and Mr Mercedes is one of his better later novels. This adaptation captures the atmosphere of the novel really well and the differences between the visual and written are small enough to not matter.
