Mr. Mercedes, the Series

Over the past few days, I watched the TV series version of Mr. Mercedes, the Stephen King novel. This, I thought, was extremely well done, and quite faithful to the novel. The climactic event was changed just a bit, in as far as the venue was altered from a teeny rock concert to a community art show, but I think I know why they did that (and it's okay). Psychotic killer Brady Hartsfield is played in a wonderfully creepy way by Harry Treadaway. As with the book, the horror is especially horrible, as the only monsters are of the human sort. 

Apparently, a second season, beginning in August, will follow the events of King's follow-up novel, End of Watch.
