It was back in February of this year that Stephen King first started ringing the bell for Mr. Mercedes on Peacock, informing his followers when all three existing seasons of the show would be available on the streaming service, and now that that’s the case his promotion of the show rightly continues. Previously part of the now-nonexistent Audience Network, the mystery series is based on the trilogy of books written by King between 2014 and 2016 – Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, and End Of Watch – and follows the story of retired Detective Bill Hodges (Brendan Gleeson) as he continues to investigate a maniac (Harry Treadaway) responsible for purposefully driving a luxury sedan through a crowd at a job fair.

Creatively expanding on the source material, Mr. Mercedes unfolded across three seasons as one of the best modern Stephen King adaptations, and if you consider yourself a fan of the author but haven’t checked it out yet, you’re definitely doing yourself a disservice. Clearly King has a bit of bias when it comes to the show, but take it from this Constant Reader that it is worth your time.
