Ed O The cool premise (aka Stephen King's original story) is quickly worn to threads by unnecessarily stretching every episode - and thus literally every single action taken - into eternity. I assume that, if edited down to half of each's episode's runtime, this could be a cool series. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Audience Member I’ve seen many TV shows, but none of them have made me keep up with them while it’s airing. It’s been like that for a long time. Basically, I really hope this doesn’t end up being a one season thing. I definitely want to see more seasons. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Jens S. One episode and I was hooked...I only wish I could binge watch the whole thing now! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Endika V I read the book and loved it, I am glad they make the show, it's a must see for all that did not read the book, the young actors did a fantastic job. I look forward to see how they're career goes. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Johan J I like the novel and really wanted to like this show. But the problem is that the changes they have made just make the whole story uninteresting and unappealing. The acting doesn't really give a reason to stick around either, so I'm giving up after the 4th episode. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Kerry D It blows my mind that screen writers think they can do better than Stephen King. Why change it? The story was perfect. I'm on episode 3 of season 1 and already disappointed they didn't stick to the story. Most of the characters are actually the saving grace of the program. Tip? Don't mess with the master's work.
