Stephen King has the weirdest most warped sense of mind.Should be a great show. I've love his books.

 

[volinbham]

this show is great so far .

First 2 episodes were awesome.

Yep - great pacing, tension. Bateman is a damn good director.

I'm glad I don't know the story (didn't read the book).

 

[volinbham]

It's killing me to wait for each episode. The new character in Ep 3 will be interesting to watch

I just watched the first episode but please tell me the creature dude that is behind the crowd of Bateman's house is explained.

Yeah its a bit too deliberately paced but the atmosphere is great. Bateman can direct dark very well.

Good stuff. Castle Rock on Hulu is good too. Really glad the quality of tv has improved so much that so many quality Stephen king projects are being made.

I never read the book . Is there a supernatural side to this or is it more of a crime thriller kind of genre?

Yes

Yes

Thanks for answering I think.

It’s not clear yet what is going on so I can’t really say. It’s a mix of both at this point. Its a pretty solid bet that whatever is going on isn’t normal

I was just messing with you. I’m not a huge horror genre, scary movie fan. I was kind of hoping this a bit closer to True Detective than IT or whatever might be comparable.

I would say it is so far. Definitely approached like a detective story. The suspense is a slow burn rather than shock factor or things popping out.

 

[TheDeeble]

It reminds me somewhat of True Detective season 1. Detective show that may have a supernatural element. But I was kind of expecting that being that it's from Stephen King.

So far it's great.

I missed this. Was this when the police had the warrant and were just starting to search his house?

Closer in atmosphere to True Detective. I’m only on episode 2 now.

I found it. Are you talking about the hoodie guy or the strange character who walked away behind the hoodie guy.

I’m now up to 4. I’m really liking it . Pretty intense show. I think Bateman has done a really good job directing too.

I’m near the end of episode two. Excellent show. My favorite type of series

Episode 6 was tense and well written. This is a slow burn but man is it good. How all the characters reacted to the theory was pretty amazing. Nice set up for the final episodes.
