	Media	Author	Review
		Isaac Feldberg Entertainment Weekly	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] remains a darkly compelling ride (...) [It] is fast on its way to becoming the best Stephen King TV show for a few reasons"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: The second season struggles initially to find propulsive momentum (...) There's still a lot to be interested in with 'Mr. Mercedes'"
		Haleigh Foutch Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 2 makes bold strides into new genres (...) [The characters] are still fascinating and fabulously performed by the knockout ensemble (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Daniel Kurland Bloody Disgusting	"[2nd Season Review]: The show’s strong performances and its internal sense of justice continue to ground 'Mr. Mercedes' and make it work (...) This season requires a lot more patience (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"'Mr. Mercedes' has the Kelley hallmarks — snappy dialogue, credible characters, a story that adds up, an overall feeling of polished craftsmanship (...) A decent character study"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"An effective Stephen King adaptation carried by strong performances and smart writing choices (...) Watching Gleeson and Treadaway playing out a deadly dance is gripping in its own way"
		Maureen Ryan Variety	"An assemblage of shopworn elements that does not offer much in the way of crisp pacing, character depth or originality (...) The end result is repetitive and saturated with sallow superficiality."
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"The writing is what really drives 'Mr. Mercedes'. The naturalistic pacing and character development provide a superior cast with more than enough fuel for a gripping ride."
		Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"What sticks with you isn’t the horror, it’s the humanity (...) It’s a quality star vehicle fueled with enough poignancy to make it worth the ride."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"An unappealing combination of Stephen King’s most ghastly horror moments mashed into a hard-boiled detective story. It doesn’t earn its violence, even with a game cast and compelling ideas."
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"A really solid crime show (...) This is an all-star crew operating at near the peak of their abilities. It makes for a tight, terrifying story of a retired cop"
		Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"[2nd Season Review]: Though it’s not always successful in what it’s attempting to do (...) 'Mr. Mercedes' is nevertheless entertaining and driven by compelling performances that it’s worth seeking out."
