Loved Ben Mendelsohn and Cynthia Erivo and would watch them read the phone book together.


yes, me too.

Insanely slow and boring. Very anticlimactic.

With the scratch on Holly, they have definitely left an opening. I would love to see it back. That actress has skyrocketed in fame, though. Hope she remains available for another season.

Wait... Holly got scratched by it?
I missed that part
I was confused by how they explained it all away at the end, but glad they cleared Terry Maitland’s name. So sad about Andy though.

I missed that too.

I thought it started off strong but I thought it got boring around episode 3 or 4.

I was disappointed. It just didn’t flow like the rest of the show. And anticlimactic. Did they change it from the book? To leave open a sequel option?

Also, who were those kids in the cave? And why the Ralph solo confrontation? That part was clunky and made no sense.

People! Stay with the guy!


yes I agree


In addition to that bugging me, I found it odd that they ALL wanted to stay with him while they wait for a kid to get killed. Nobody was like, maybe we should also try to prevent a kid from getting killed or at least tell the public to be extra vigilant. I guess they didn't know location, but still all the focus on protecting the guy and none on trying to prevent a horrific child murder was a bit odd.

'The Shining' and 'Misery' I would never see anything King's done. But this show is just so well done.


Agree this is amazing. But something not everybody knows is that Stephen King himself hated Kubrick‘s The Shining. He actually redid it as a miniseries on ABC a while back.

Oh this show is so, so good. I LOVE the sweet romantic friendship between Holly and Andy, such a refreshing change of pace.

I wasn't super into the lead (I guess I didn't buy into his character as a detective), but he grew on me.

Cynthia Erivo is an amazing actress. I, too, had never seen her work before. This is a difficult character to play yet she makes Holly so human and relatable.

Agreed. I don't love the show because of this kind of stuff. I watch the show because of Cynthia. She is AMAZING. I'd never heard of her until the Oscars.

Unlike pps I find the music overdone.
