Hello, friends of this wonderful community! I recently finished watching this series, which I thought was great. It has a mystery that keeps you hooked from the beginning, despite the graphic images. Here's a mini summary:

“Mr. Mercedes” is a three-season American series based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King, which premiered in 2017 and ended in 2019; you can find it on Netflix today. The series tells the story of Bill Hodges, a retired detective who becomes involved in a mass murder case committed by a psychopath known as Mr. Mercedes.

- Bill Hodges: A retired detective who becomes involved in the Mr. Mercedes case. Played by Brendan Gleeson, Hodges is a complex character who is struggling to overcome his own demons.

Bill Hodges: Un detective jubilado, que se ve envuelto en el caso de Mr. Mercedes. Interpretado por Brendan Gleeson, Hodges es un personaje complejo que está luchando por superar sus propios demonios.

- Mr. Mercedes: A brilliant and manipulative psychopath who boasts about the deaths that occurred at the job fair. Played by Harry Treadaway, Mr. Mercedes is a fascinating and terrifying character.

- Holly Gibney: A shy and brilliant young woman who joins Hodges in his search for Mr. Mercedes. Played by Holland Taylor, Holly is an interesting and complex character.

- Jerome Robinson: A young man who joins Hodges and Holly in their search for Mr. Mercedes. Played by Jharrel Jerome, Jerome is an intelligent and loyal character.

The series gets off to a shocking start, opening with a brutal attack at a job fair, where Mr. Mercedes, a man with a twisted past, runs over a group of people with a stolen Mercedes-Benz, killing sixteen and injuring many more. Bill Hodges, played by Brendan Gleeson, is the detective in charge of the case, but it remains unsolved. However, now retired, he cannot forget it and is so involved in it that he still suffers from nightmares.

The plot takes a turn when he receives a video from the killer on his computer, followed by several more, and he is even able to communicate with him through a website. Hodges is transported back to the past and embroiled in a battle of wits with Mr. Mercedes, played by Harry Treadaway. As the story progresses, the detective realizes that Mr. Mercedes is a highly intelligent and manipulative psychopath who is playing with him and his mind, just as he did in the past with the owner of the car, who ended up committing suicide.

The series shows both characters, focusing on each of their lives, so we can see not only the detective but also what the killer is really like, his twisted mind, his dark life full of trauma and abuse (some images of abuse are very realistic and graphic). We also see a detective obsessed and traumatized by the case, to the point of being constantly alert to the danger surrounding him.

I really liked “Mr. Mercedes,” and if you're a fan of series that get inside the killer's mind, you'll love it, because it truly explores the darkest depths of a twisted mind.
