Please discuss. This show based on the Steven King novel started on Sunday with its’ first two episodes.

I watched episode one last night and thought it was excellent. It’s currently sitting at a 9.1 on IMDb and for good reason.

I’m not a big fan of the supernatural and **** like that but if delivered right (see The Green Mile), it can work.

I'll check it out.

I read a lot of SK when I was younger but haven't in a long time. I'll have to pick a few things up. I "read" via audiobook quite a bit lately...
 
Fwiw King handles that kind of stuff pretty well most of the time. Hearts in Atlantis is imo his best quasi-dark-tower book and it handled that aspect with aplomb. I'll have to check this out.
 
Man, episode 3 was really good. I’m a bit nervous for the direction it may be going but hopefully they deliver it well.
 
I'm loving this show. I haven't read much as I'm trying to avoid the spoilers but I hope it's a one season show rather than being stretched out.

It is so far as I know. It’s based off of a King novel. And yeah, though a different genre, it’s a bit reminiscent of The Night Of, but I find the pacing, mood and writing to be better in this. TNO was far too clichéd for me.
 
Watched ep 1 last night. Wife and I both thought it was solid. I'm definitely intrigued enough to be committed to seeing how it all plays out.
 
I will be watching this eventually, no doubt

Anyone still watching? First 2 eps are great but it’s gotten progressively worse each episode since, until the last 2 min of the last episode anyways. Will finish it but I’ve lost quite a bit of interest.
