They're forcing me to watch this with them. Its on "Peacock" free with commercials. Its based on a Stephen King story. Only 2 episodes in seems very Stephen King-ish but I haven't seen any supernatural stuff yet.

It is a three book series with nothing supernatural in the first two but something supernatural does show up in the third book. I believe the TV show adapts all three books. Also, a character from this series (Holly Gibney) appears in THE OUTSIDER which makes that an unofficial, fourth part of this series. I doubt THE OUTSIDER will be adapted in the MR. MERCEDES TV show since it was already adapted as a separate miniseries by Jason Bateman.
I actually enjoyed it when Stephen King went with the non-supernatural angle and wrote a few books as straight-up mystery thrillers.

I have been interested in watching, but I wanted to read the books first, and I keep pushing them back as something else comes along. I have enjoyed a lot of king's non-supernatural stuff, but in this case I think it's why I keep pushing it back.

I'd like to watch both just to see how they each handle the Holly Gibney character. She is one of my favorite Stephen King characters. She is a private investigator who is on the autistic spectrum.

I read and watched the Outsider. She was done very well in both.
