'Is anything we're doing here legal?'
Jerome
Season one of Mr. Mercedes starts out with the introduction of the Mercedes killer. Although Harry Treadaway does a great job as the Brady, it wasn't the killer, nor his back story that really grabbed my interest. I was most focused and fascinated by those tracking him down.
Although the group expands, it begins with just Bill Hodges, soon joined by neighbor and computer wiz Jerome Robinson. (Jerome Jharrel) Some of you might know the talented actor for his Emmy winning role as Korey Wise in Ava DuVernay's Netflix miniseries When They See Us. On the big screen, you might also remember Jharrel from role in Moonlight, Concrete Cowboy and Monster,
I really enjoyed the relationship between Bill and Jerome, and especially liked the chemistry between Gleeson and Jharrel. Although the character of Jerome appeared in all three seasons of Mr. Mercedes, he was featured the most proximately in the shows' first season.
Once Holly is established, most of Bill's fatherly instincts and advice go her way, but early in season one, it was Jerome who Bill worried most about. Although Jerome, Holly and Bill form both a family, and a business together, Jerome is not given the same degree of attention he was given in season 1. Not sure if was story related, or the actor's schedule, but would have loved to have seen more of Jerome in season 2 and 3.
