Very good I thought,Brendan Gleeson does not disappoint,he is a great actor..Check out The Guard and In Bruges,he is funny and quirky and does a great job.

Gleeson was also wonderful as the sheriff in Lake Placid :)

Watched episode 4. I am so surprised how I actually enjoy "Lou's" character in this series on tv... vs the written novel. Makes me laugh. Didn't pay much attention to her in this first novel. I am really shocked how they portrayed "Brady" in this episode as some compassion and caring towards "Lou". I never imagined him to have ANY compassion or care towards anyone. Crazy.

I was thinking "Lou" is Freddi fellow co-worker at the Electronix store with Brady. I thought the character in the series just had the name changed? Or am I just cray-cray lol?
She also has a much larger role in the 3rd Novel of the series. I feel all mixed up now.

I agree with post #28 but i think the posts by the moderator was referring to "Ida" in the story not "Lou". If u notice in the tv series... "Lou's" last name is Linklatter.. just like Freddi Linklatter in the novels "Mr. Mercedes" and "End of Watch". Short for Fredrica.
I know and understand why "Ida" was an added character.

You are correct. Ms Mod was referring to Ida. My mistake!
Lou appears to be Freddi from the book. Name change as you stated.
