| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, and welcome to the Stephen King cast, One Man's Musings on the Works of Stephen King. |
| 0:04.3 | Each week, I'll review one entry in the bibliography of Stephen King and the chronological order of publication. |
| 0:09.1 | And in this episode, I'll be reviewing episodes three through six of season one of Mr. Mercedes. |
| 0:16.7 | This past week, you'll know just how surprised I was at really liking these episodes because I did not like the book. |
| 0:24.8 | I famously did not like the book. |

| 1:14.1 | Now, I don't truly recall speaking about this in episodes one and two. |
| 1:21.4 | It has been a while since I watched that. |
| 1:23.7 | It's been about a year. |
| 1:24.3 | So I might have mentioned it in my previous Mr. Mercedes review, |
| 1:28.7 | but I, upon seeing this, I was shocked that they actually kept this aspect of the story. |
| 1:35.0 | I mean, I get it. It's a key component to who Brady is, but it really isn't something that you |
| 1:40.3 | see much of in television or movies. And for a good reason, it's disturbing. |
