'Mr. Mercedes' season 2 finale review: After coming to a stunning end will the Stephen King adaptation return for a third season?
[Spoiler Alert: Key plot details from the finale of the second season of Mr. Mercedes (also a few from the books). Proceed at your own risk!]
The penultimate episode of 'Mr. Mercedes' presented an unexpected yet anti-climactic twist, with Brady Hartsfield (Harry Treadaway) turning himself in and Bill Hodges (Brendan Gleeson) ending up in the very next jail cell as the serial killer, thanks to two charges of assault and battery against Hartsfield and his doctor, Felix Babineau (Jack Huston). Good and evil were separated by just a few bars of steel as Hodges found himself in an unlikely position and left viewers wondering where exactly things would go from here. The finale of the second season leaves you with the very same feeling in regards to whether the show has scope for a third season, but not before redeeming itself with a massive payload and a breathtaking curtain closer.
