'Mr. Mercedes' season 2 episode 9 review: Red tape, not Brady Hartsfield, is the real enemy for detective Bill Hodges

The Stephen King adaptation takes a sudden and unexpected anticlimatic turn as the show heads toward the nail-biting season finale.

[Spoiler Alert: The following review discusses key plot details from episode 9 of the second season of Mr. Mercedes. Proceed at your own risk!]

Brady Hartsfield is up and walking and judging by what happened in season 1 of Audience Network's 'Mr. Mercedes', that never leads to anything pleasant.

The latest episode of the Stephen King adaptation of the Bill Hodges Trilogy picks up right where the previous episode left off. The final scene of the last episode showed us Brady Hartsfield (Harry Treadaway) missing from his hospital bed and the maniacal serial killer is on the loose again. The ninth episode yet again showcases the show's consistently agreeable choice in music selection as Brady limps along the road dressed in a doctor's robes to the soundtrack of Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons' 'Walk Like A Man' (which is also interestingly the title of the episode.)
