'Mr. Mercedes' season 2 episode 2 review: 'Let's go roaming'

Brady flexes his new found mental abilities as the clueless Hodges reunites with his old sidekick, Jerome Robinson in the latest epsiode of the Stephen King adaptation.

"I am so far away from you, yet closer than you'll ever know," says Brady Hartsfield ominously in the new episode of season 2 of 'Mr. Mercedes.' In the opening episode of the new season, we saw Brady Hartsfield move his eyeballs. Just one episode later, he's doing much more than that, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to add much value to the exposition of a show whose new direction was made pretty clear in the 2-minute trailer that arrived before the premiere.

[Spoiler Alert: This review has details from episode 2 of the second season of 'Mr. Mercedes' and also some tidbits from Stephen King's 'End of Watch,' on which the season is based.]
