Breeda Wool offers a dark, unnerving, yet mesmerizing look into her character Lou Linklater in 'Mr. Mercedes'

Breeda discusses the complex psyche of Lou Linklater in 'Mr. Mercedes', being acknowledged by Stephen King, speculations for season 3, and Lou's many tattoos.

 

The second season of 'Mr. Mercedes' blew our mind as it dropped its season finale late last month. The AT&T Audience Network's Stephen King adaptation went from straight-up hard-boiled detective fiction of season 1 to a thrilling speculative fiction show in season 2. The show, helmed by showrunners David E. Kelley ('The Practice', 'L.A. Law) and Jack Bender ('Under The Dome', 'Lost') pulled off one of the most impressive adaptations of a Stephen King work, staying faithful to the texts, while adding their own special touches in adapting to the medium of television. King himself lauded the show as "smart and scary" and one of his "favorite adaptations." That's high praise.
