I'm slowly making my way through season 2 (based on the 3rd book). It was my least favorite book of the three (not a fan of bringing the supernatural stuff into it), so hopefully season 3 leaves all that behind and is better.

I've only seen the first season, but I loved it.

I wish it was still on Directv.
Peacock is not available on Samsung Smart TVs.
I own a Mercedes so maybe I should watch this

Well it took almost 3 months to watch 10 episodes, but we finally made it through season 2. What a fucking disaster that was. Most of the second half was unrecognizable from the book. Such as it goes with King translations I guess. They were already fighting an uphill climb with King's supernatural stuff, but what a snoozefest this season was, literally. The show's climax is suddenly a courtroom drama? I actually dozed off for a bit.
Silver lining is the core cast (Gleason, Treadway & Lupe) which helps. Even Breeda Wool's Lou elevated the material she had to work with. Unfortunately the supporting cast isn't up to the task. Babineau was b-movie bad along with his Sandra Bullock look-alike wife. I did like Al's portrayal and Nancy Travis was a nice add.
At any rate, season 3 should be hitting Peacock next week, so hopefully it's a step up from this atrocity.

I ended up getting Season 3 via Netflix DVD rental. It was way better than Season 2, which I thought was a huge step down from the fantastic Season 1. S3 is still not as good as S1.
