Mr. Mercedes
Don’t let him inside your head.
Created by David E. Kelley
On Audience
A tense psychological thriller centered on the cat-and-mouse game between a retired detective and a serial killer who invades his mind through letters, built on sustained dread and paranoia rather than episodic reset.
A demented serial killer taunts a retired police detective with a series of lurid letters and emails, forcing the ex-cop to undertake a private, and potentially felonious, crusade to bring the killer to justice before he can strike again.
