Mr. Mercedes: Bad to Worse (2019)
Phenomenal
Ignore the other ridiculous review by the Stephen King fanatic, the writing and acting this episode are brilliant. Holly's testimony was emotionally evocative and very well written, and Gabriel Ebert's performance as Morris Bellamy is debatably Emmy worthy. Great season of television.
Outer Banks: The Gold (2021)
lazy writing
While the show keeps its summer feel and feel of escapism, it goes backwards in many ways. John B and Sarah are now thinking of getting married, at 16, after having known each other less than a year. Seems pointless. Rafe, who was the most well written character in the first season, just becomes psychopathic instead of the kid who's desperate for his father's approval. They had potential to make him a complex and somewhat sympathetic character, but they just wanna make him crazy because crazy is cool. John B scales Sarah's family's mansion and conveniently the door is unlocked. Then, when they go back, the door locks from the outside? So many things are far too convenient. On top of that, the teen drama was simply far too dramatic. Overall, underwhelming sadly.
