In the 4K restoration series, I also included the Mr. Mercedes edit.
The quality has been upgraded from a workprint I made years ago in 2020.
It’s edited into two parts, approximately 90 and 95 minutes long.
The edits feature alternative music by Charlie Clouser taken from the SAW soundtracks.
More information about this can be found on the Maniac blog.

Looks like an improvement on the original.
For me, this represents an improvement.
The conversations that Hodges has with his neighbor are excessively long and do not contribute anything meaningful to the original story.
I’ve decided to eliminate the scenes with Brady’s brother because I felt they were too lengthy; instead, I wanted to emphasize Brady’s sick relationship with his mother.
When I received the Blu-ray of the first season, I began working on upgrading it to 4K.
Editing with Topaz software produces stunning results.
I’ve already processed some edits through Topaz, but I don’t intend to do that for all 188 edits currently available online.
Creating these edits involves an enormous amount of work, and while I’m busy, I’m continually seeking improvement and perfection.
