I recently finished watching the adaptation for Stephen King's "Mr. Mercedes" trilogy, and I was disappointed. Too many changes were made, and it drastically altered the feel of the story. This is why I was pleasantly surprised with The Outsider.

This series sticks more to its roots, making it an enjoyable watch. The plot was mostly the same, and so we're most of the characters. There were changes of course, some of which I was none too pleased with, but the general feel of the series was much more intriguing.

I still don't understand the need for the changes they did make though. The book was very good and, as such, it feels like the changes were unnecessary. But that is my only gripe.

Overall, it was very good.
